Hi, my name is Mark Bindseil and I am one of the Agricultural Science Teachers here at Burbank High School. This is my eighth year teaching agriculture at Burbank High School. Before Burbank I taught agriculture for 15 years at Highlands High School. 

Agriculture has been a major part of my life. I have a small ranch located in Blanco, Texas which is about 1 hour north of San Antonio. In high school I took Agricultural Science classes all four years. During this time I began working on a large cattle ranch in Blanco. During the time working on this ranch I realized I wanted agriculture to be be my life. I graduated from Sul Ross State University in Alpine Texas in 1994. After graduating I began working full time on this ranch as the Ranch Manager.  In 2000 I decided to leave the ranch and start teaching agriculture. 

I have a daughter, Megan, who is currently a senior at "THE" Texas A&M University. My favorite family member is my crazy yeller dog.

When I am not in class I spend most of my free time at my ranch relaxing and hunting.
