My connection to Shady Oak Christian School began when my youngest son, Elijah, attending preschool in 2006. Shortly thereafter, my wife, Natasha, became a teacher at Shady Oak and since then our family has become deeply rooted in the school and its values.

I am passionate about the work the staff and teachers do at Shady Oak in giving children childhood and instilling values and social/emotional skills early in their lives. I wholeheartedly believe in the work they do in creating “good people.”

My wife and I have been married for over 30 years, and we have 5 children, two of whom attended Shady Oak as students and one who has become the School Director. We couldn’t be prouder of the people they have become and we know that Shady Oak has played a crucial role in that. We also have 4 amazing grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with my the people I love, playing golf, fishing and traveling.
