This photo taken Nov. 28, 2017, shows Karl Brandenburg, a former military man who pursued education as a second career, teaching a class at Risley Academy of Innovation, in Pueblo Colo. It was during his days as a tenaciously effective Army drill sergeant that Brandenburg first entertained the idea of moving from the barracks into the classroom."There was something fulfilling about teaching, coaching and mentoring raw recruits into well-disciplined, highly motivated young soldiers," said Brandenburg, who now uses those leadership and training skills to shape the minds and character of students at Risley International Academy of Innovation.
