Rick Schertle

Rick has taught middle school language arts in San José, California the past 22 years and writes occasionally for Make: Magazine. His diverse interests include world travel, backpacking, tinkering, and all things that fly—all more fun with the enthusiastic support of his wife and crazy antics of his son and daughter. His original project was the Air Rocket Launcher for Make: Magazine issue 15 and since then has brought air rocket fun to Maker Faires and events all over the world.
