Jameson Grauer, Lead Teacher

Jameson’s second love is Art, which took him to Florence, Italy for two years to learn Classical Painting & Sculpture; he uses this knowledge and skill set to bring some fun and creative ideas into the outdoor classroom.

Jameson joined BOPN in 2022.

Growing up amongst the Phoenix mountains, Jameson has always had a love for everything outdoors.  He has lived in Arizona, California, and Washington, and most recently in Florence, Italy.  Growing up in a Montessori environment helped Jameson develop an appreciation for the mindful philosophy, and so at 20 years of age he began working in a Montessori classroom alongside his former preschool teacher.  He was later promoted to Lead Teacher, where he enjoyed working with preschool and kindergarten-aged children.

In his spare time, you will likely find Jameson fixing something, painting, engineering, cycling, or playing the guitar . . . or you just may find him roaming the forest with his little dog, Bella, in tow, for there is always something to discover in the forest!
