State and attained an Associate Degree in Forestry solidifying himself as a true “Smitty.” Not soon afterwards, Terry understood the job market, or lack thereof in forestry, so he moved west where he majored in business then teaching at the University of Montana in Missoula where he attained his Bachelor’s in Education and subsequent Master’s in Education; Go Grizzlies! While attending university in “The Last Best Place,” he fell in the love with the Rocky Mountains where summer after summer he returned to work, 1st for U.S. Forest Service, then as one of Montana’s Forest and Wildlands firefighters.

Terry devoted over 35 years to teaching the next generations in most Business Academic Areas. He was an advocate of learning and “earning” your grades and achievements. Terry taught at St. Joeseph of the Palisades, Weehawken High School, Eureka Middle School in Montana, Union Hill and finally Jose Marti STEM School in Union City, NJ.
