From www.tombertin.ca:

My name is Tom Bertin and I teach or have taught Computer Science, Computer Technology, Computer Engineering, Robotics, FIRST (usfirst.org), Business, Mathematics, Careers and Religion at Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Oakville, ON., Canada.

  Aside from the looks of dumbfoundedness followed by clarity/obviousness when I'm challenged to "Prove there is a God." and I present Descartes's and Pascal's thoughts on the matter, I'd have to say that the most rewarding aspect of my job comes from coaching the Varsity Boys Baseball team every Spring.  With skill levels ranging from Oakville House League to the Elite level, the complexities that must be balanced abound.  

  I would be remiss here if I didn't mention FRC Team 3161, the Tronic Titans.  Year after year, they are always exceptional individuals with razor sharp acumen.  A tonne of fun, indeed.  The same has to be said of the annual DWITE, Don Mills Open and ECOO Programming Teams.  To call them "competent coders" would be an understatement.

  That's about enough rambling from me.  Thank you for visiting my site.
