Before Schuler, he worked as a McNair Scholar Fellow, assisting other McNair scholars apply to graduate school and secure funding. Most of his academic backing stems from social justice work that he led at Beloit College and now in his research. Teddy is originally from the Big Eazy (New Orleans, Louisiana) and after six years, he believes he has found his new home in the Midwest.

Outside of work, Teddy enjoys gaming, comics, TV, basketball, conducting research on social injustice, anime and club lacrosse.
