"Harpster" as we knew him was a truly wonderful man and had such a positive influence on so many kids. Our family is forever grateful. Both our kids went to Harpster's Homeroom and have made lifelong friendships through their time there. Thank you Brian...we miss you.

I worked with Brian at Swanson Elementary before he started Harpsters Homeroom, he was loved by staff and adored by students. He will be missed by many, but never forgotten.
