The Difference Experience Makes

Nearly four decades in education have provided invaluable insights into the challenges students face. This extensive experience allows me to anticipate obstacles, identify opportunities, and guide students toward solutions that work. My approach combines time-tested wisdom with contemporary educational understanding.

Personal Background

As a proud graduate of Butler University, I hold both a Bachelor of Science in Social Studies Education and a Master of Science in Secondary School Administration. My academic foundation has been enhanced by my most meaningful life experience: raising three remarkable daughters with my wife, Angie.

Our family journey has been extraordinary—we've adopted three daughters who are all now pursuing their college educations. One daughter is from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and two are from China. We made the decision to homeschool all three, a choice that transformed our understanding of education in profound ways.

Through homeschooling, we gained invaluable insights into:

• Trauma-Informed Education: Learning to recognize and address the impact of early experiences on learning readiness

• Personalized Learning Approaches: Developing truly individualized educational plans based on each child's unique needs

• Strength-Based Development: Identifying and nurturing individual talents and abilities

• Adaptive Teaching Strategies: Creating flexible approaches to address specific challenges

• Passion-Driven Learning: Discovering how to harness personal interests to fuel educational engagement

This deeply personal educational journey has fundamentally shaped my professional approach, providing me with a unique perspective on overcoming obstacles, celebrating differences, and fostering growth in every student I serve.
