Why Phoenix Christian?
I attended Phoenix Christian as a student from 1984-1988. I met my wife here my junior year, who also graduated in 1988. We have been married for 34 years.

My daughter attended Phoenix Christian from 4th grade to graduating high school in 2020. She also met her husband here, Easton, and were married in December 2020. My first grandchild, Myla was born in January of 2024. She is now 6 months old.

Phoenix Christian is family and my family has come about through Phoenix Christian.

List a favorite Bible verse and why it is a favorite/what does it mean to you.
John 3:16 is the summary of all Scripture and that God loved me so much that He sacrificed His Only Son for me. God’s amazing grace and forgiveness is what still shakes me to my core.

What is something you do for fun when you’re not teaching?
I collect sports cards (baseball, basketball, football, hockey). I also love Star Wars and have collected the action figures and ships over the years.

Who was your favorite teacher and why?
Mrs. Runyon (5th grade teacher) believed in me and gave me confidence beyond what any other teacher had done before. She put me in charge the RIF program (Reading Is Fundamental) and I had dyslexia. She took me to chess tournaments and I took 2nd in our school. She did school plays and had me lead in acting out scenes and making the sound effects. She put on the talent show and I win first place in 5th and 6th grade.
