Sam Eller

Teacher

Sam is originally from Oklahoma and moved west for college at the University of San Diego. He soon realized that he preferred the mountains over the beach and spent a number of years pursuing big mountain terrain and the backcountry in Colorado, British Columbia, and California. Sam is passionate about science, mathematics, and the outdoors. He spends his free time exploring the wild places in the Sierra Nevada mountains, teaching avalanche classes, and working to build community in Truckee.

Sam teaches Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Pre-Calculus. He deeply believes in the unique ability of the Sugar Bowl Academy to develop talented student-athletes with a focus on their individualized learning outcomes.
