Hello, my name is Mr. Brian Beining.  I am a first grade teacher here at Van Buren.  This will be my 5th year teaching here.  I went to school for and was a diesel semi-truck mechanic for the first three years out of high school.  I then switched gears and ended up at the University of Findlay for Early Childhood Education.  I have my bachelors in that and am working on my masters as an Intervention Specialist or in guidance and counseling.  I just recently bought a boat with Mr. Daniels from the high school. I love to fish especially for perch on Lake Erie. I am also the assistant athletic director here at Van Buren.  This allows me to attend many of the sporting events that I enjoy so much.  I have enjoyed my experience here at Van Buren and look forward to many more years here.  If you need to get a hold of me for any reason at all my email address is bbeining@vbschools.net or I can be reached at 419-299-3416.
