Mr. Breidigam graduated from Towson University with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies. Among his extracurricular activities, he marched in the Towson University Marching Band, where he would later instruct. During the summers of 2009 and 2010, he marched in the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps from Dubuque, IA, as a part of the Drum Corps International Summer Tour. Touring the country, he developed a sense of discipline and attention to detail. He taught at various levels of marching ensembles and percussion ensembles from 2007-2020, which developed his educational pedagogy. Mr. Breidigam then received his M.A. in Theology from the first Catholic Seminary in the United States, St. Mary's Seminary and University under the Ecumenical Institute of Theology, in Baltimore, MD. There he focused on Liturgical and Sacramental Theology among other areas of Theology and Discernment. He is an active member of the Knights of Columbus Council #4011 as an officer known as the Worthy Deputy Grand Knight. He enjoys combining theology with all areas of his life. His extracurricular activities are going on local pilgrimages, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. Mr. Breidigam is looking forward to continuing his development as a teacher at Chesterton Academy.

Mrs. Hartman (nee Gallagher) graduated from The Catholic University of America with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a Minor in Theology and Religious Studies. She comes from a Roman Catholic family of ten (children) in Oregon. She was homeschooled up through high school using Kolbe Academy, and during that time she cultivated a love for Latin, music, theology, and the classics, which she continued to pursue during her college career. She especially loves playing the harp and the piano and reading Shakespeare and Flannery O'Connor. She learned about Chesterton Academy through two of her younger sisters who attend Chesterton back home in Oregon, and is excited to share her love of classical learning with the students here in Annapolis.
