Trevor Nurmi
Teacher and Entrepreneur in Hamilton, ON, Canada
Hi, I’m Trevor — a high school educator, business builder, and coach passionate about real-world learning.
I teach Business Studies and Physical Education at Westdale Secondary School, where I lead students in hands-on, project-based experiences that bring entrepreneurship to life. From student-run ventures and pitch competitions to T-shirt production and financial literacy championships, my classroom is a lab for creativity, risk-taking, and collaboration.
I’m also the VP of Communications and Professional Development Representative for Entrepreneurship with the Ontario Business Educators’ Association (OBEA). I created the OBEA Summer Think Tank Series, where teachers across the province gather to innovate and inspire one another.
When I’m not in the classroom, I’m coaching football (OFSAA champs, 2015), mentoring young leaders, or building new ideas to support student growth.
Let’s connect — whether you’re a fellow educator, entrepreneur, or someone who believes in the power of applied learning
