Scott Weissling

Photo and story by Jake Dowling, Icon intern
Working with ice cream just does not cut it for some people. Scott Weissling, for example, wanted to take a different direction after scooping ice cream for customers at Dietsch's Ice Cream Parlor in Findlay for over 25 years.

Therefore, Weissling decided to try teaching.

"I just got my intervention specialist license back in December," Weissling said. "Between then and now, I've been subbing for other teachers in Allen and Hancock County."
