I have served over thirty years in the field of education and have a bachelors, two masters and a doctorate in Christian education. My background includes 13 years of teaching secondary social sciences, five years as an athletic director, 12 years as a head basketball coach (four at the collegiate level), three years as a principal and over twenty years as a superintendent/headmaster.
I grew up in Philadelphia where I attended both public and Christian schools. During my high school years, I was privileged to attend Delaware County Christian School, where Dr. Roy Lowrie served as our headmaster. Later, Dr. Lowrie founded our present accrediting group, ACSI.
I played high school and collegiate athletics and it was during my final two years of college that the Lord clarified His call for me into teaching and athletics.
Later, I met my lovely and wonderful wife, Carol Ann, while coaching. She was my favorite scorekeeper. We have served together in Christian school education for over twenty years and thoroughly love the challenge and opportunity of molding and influencing young lives for Christ.
Carol and I love our four favorite "hounds:" Maxx the beagle, Cody the beagle/husky mix, Sadie the little lady, and Jordan, our blue-tick coon hound.
I love boxing, running, working out, walks with my wife in Swan Creek State Park, travel on route 66, travel to Paris and London (maybe a future senior trip?), and a great hamburger...
Message
It is my desire and purpose to honor the Lord Jesus in all that I say and do. Therefore, it is my privilege to serve God at TCS and to help cast the vision for greater academic growth. I also desire for God to use me in helping to complete our previous plans for a new gym and science labs. I believe that with the Lord, all things are indeed possible. Therefore, I hold to Philippians 4:13 which states: "I can do all things through Christ...."
Join me, along with my school board, administrative team, faculty and staff, as we plant the seeds and watch our God bring about His harvest that is evidenced in the young lives we touch daily for the sake of His kingdom.
GO TCS.....GO EAGLES!!!

Dear TCS Families and Friends,
The end of another great school year is rapidly approaching. With less than two and one-half weeks remaining there are a number of significant events going on at TCS of which we hope you will come and enjoy.
I wanted to first thank my outstanding faculty and staff members for their love and commitment to the students who attend Toledo Christian Schools. I also I am blessed to have an incredible Board of Trustees who have enabled and supported the direction of TCS not only for these past three years but for many years to come. Finally, I want to take the time to thank each of you as parents and supporters of Toledo Christian. Your sacrifices of money and time are a true indication of your personal commitment to an education that is not only challenging but is tied to strong biblical principles and values.
