My Story
I married my high school sweetheart. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters, who married Christian men and are raising their own. My daughters, Aimee and Krista, attended SACS, but only Aimee graduated from SACS. Krista completed her high school years at Believers Academy. My wife, Joyce, and I have led mission teams locally and overseas, evangelizing children for Jesus. Joyce is a full-time missionary and the director of One Way International Ministry. Our current focus is on overseeing a partnership with Wayside Chapel and Colonial Hills Elementary.
What church do you attend?
Wayside Chapel in San Antonio
What do you love most about teaching, coaching, or working at SACS?
I am blessed knowing that I had a small part in shaping the futures of my students. I have taught over 4,600 students in both public and private education. It is great to reconnect with former students walking in faith and who are successfully pursuing impressive careers as doctors, lawyers, nurses, engineers, and pastors.
Favorite Bible verse
Phil 4:8 – “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.”
What are your hobbies and interests?
I play 12-string guitar and Christian music, but I also love traveling, fishing, hunting, snow skiing, hiking, biking, and eating great BBQ.
