Biography

Mr. Risell began teaching at Wyndcroft in 2020. However, his Wyndcroft journey began much earlier when he became a student at Wyndcroft in the 5th Grade and graduated in 2008. Since then he earned degrees in both history and French from Gettysburg college. He was a teaching assistant at Pottstown Middle School helping students who read below grade level strengthen their fluency and comprehension. Now, he is happy to be back where his educational career took off. As a teacher he aspires to inspire trust and confidence in his students and seeks to build a foundational relationship with all of his students, in and outside the classroom.

Mr. Risell was born in Phoenixville, PA and currently lives in Collegeville. In his free time, Mr. Risell plays volleyball twice a week and enjoys ultimate frisbee. He also enjoys board games and D&D. He has a puppy, Skylar, and is a big fan of all Philadelphia sports teams, particularly, the Eagles. Go birds!
