Adrian Biesecker, Discovery & Diligence, Marketing & Development

Adrian earned an economics degree from Dickinson College. After graduating from college he quickly turned a five customer regional business into a multi-million dollar international corporation, with the help of his wife. While continuing to grow his own company he also became involved in the management of three family businesses. Adrian and his wife have two children enrolled at Soundview School. It didn’t take long for his children to quickly feel embraced by Soundview’s friendly and secure atmosphere or for Adrian to become convinced by the successful philosophies adopted by Soundview such as the IB curriculum, positive discipline and Singapore mathematics. An interest in their education and environment led him to become a member of the Soundview School Board.  Adrian has always been highly involved in charitable work. While not at work, he spends much time traveling and relaxing with his family, enjoys films and learning about the newest electronics and automobiles.

Vianne Reay, Head Support

Vianne has taught music, art and arts integration from kindergarten through adults. She currently teaches for Central Washington University at their Des Moines and Lynnwood campuses. Vianne plays percussion in her church worship band. She enjoys West African drumming, reading and scrapbooking. 

“We chose Soundview for our sons because of its emphasis on the arts and the inquiry method of learning.”

Michael Linscott, Facilities

Michael grew up in Colorado and went to college at N.C. State University. He worked in environmental consulting and for a state regulatory department working on groundwater issues. Then, after some time in retail and other pursuits, he was a political consultant and chief of staff for a State Representative in Salem, Oregon. He gave that up when his son was born, to be a stay-at-home-dad which he thinks is the best job in the world. When he is not running marathons he loves to bike, hike and backpack with his wife, son and dog, as well as read or just about anything else outside.
