Why Whitefield: I chose to work at Whitefield because I believe in the importance of Christian education in our youth. I know how instrumental it was to me and how large of an impression my teachers made on my life through middle school and high school, and I hope to be able to give back to that in a small way here at Whitefield.

My family: My wife, Katie, and I are blessed with four incredible children: Landon, Harper, Callen and Leighton.
