​Mr. Pestone

​This is my 4th  year teaching at East and my 9th year in Braintree! I grew up on the South Shore, and started working as a counselor at Camp Wachusett for Boys in Hubbardton, Vermont when I was 16, which gave me my first valuable experiences as an educator.  Throughout my undergrad years at the University of Vermont and afterwards, I worked in various facets of the after-school and pre-school programs at the YMCA in Burlington, Vermont.  After eventually serving as the Assistant Director of Camp Wachusett and spending some time as a substitute teacher, I returned to school to pursue my Masters degree in Education at Northeastern University.  Before working in Braintree, I was a 3rd and 5th grade teacher in Cohasset. I live in Pembroke with my wife and daughter, and in my free time, I enjoy: fishing, surfing, reading, disc golf, watching the Bruins, hiking with my dog, and playing the drums.
