For over forty years, teaching has been the driving force in our family. My wife, children, and I all majored in various fields of education as
undergraduates. As a Christian educator, it is my belief that one's theology is the underlying set of principles that guide and set our
philosophies of life and education. It is my fervent desire to train young people to use the Bible standards for life, ministry, and occupation.
"For the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord."
