Laine is a special education teacher at Lakewood Middle School. He teaches reading, math and social studies. He has been teaching for two years—both at Lakewood. Laine was inspired by his aunt, as well as many of his own teachers throughout his life to pursue teaching as a profession. His favorite aspect of teaching is seeing his students finally understand a concept they have been struggling with. A fun fact about Laine is that in his free time he enjoys playing board games and video games.
