Who is Mr. Rundberg?

Mr. Rundberg's Second Master's Graduation

Short Bio

Mr. Rundberg is a native of Nashville, TN and attended Montgomery Bell Academy for middle school and high school. He was an Eagle Scout and Venturing Ranger, as well as a 5-year Varsity letterman in high school. He speaks both English and German, and also reads French and Latin.

He completed his undergraduate degree at Centre College in Danville, KY and moved to Memphis to complete his Master's in European History, where met his wife who was completing her Master's in American History.

This is my third year teaching at Central Magnet. I teach AP European History, AP Microeconomics (which focuses on market structures like monopolies and oligopolies), and AP Macroeconomics (which is a required-to-graduate course at Central and focuses on national economics like inflation and unemployment).

I also am a sponsor of the Central Magnet Chess Team, the Ultimate Frisbee Team, the Board Game Club and a Sophomore Advisor this year.

When not teaching or grading papers, I enjoy watching Jeopardy with my wife and our cats (Toby and Julio). I am also a Tennessee Titans fan, reader, coffee-drinker, and gamer. Long-discussions of history, ethics, economics, and movies are a particular penchant of mine.
