I have been here almost 8 years including as a teacher and Assistant Principal, and now as MS Principal. I have also been a leader in the Expeditionary Learning program since its inception.

I was a US Navy SEAL, a stay-at-home dad, and also a strength and conditioning coach.

I grew up in Elmhurst, IL. I earned both a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Master's Degree in Education from the University of Arizona.

Anything outdoors and adventurous.

I want to help each student see their God-given potential and act upon it. I hope to support my students as they "grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." (Luke 2:52)

The Holy Spirit lives in this place! PRCA works hard to engage the whole person - mentoring each student academically, spiritually, and personally. Our mission is robust and we have a fantastic team of faculty and staff who strive to live it out!

If you believe in God and His story, then He must be a part of ALL aspects of our lives, including our education. I suppose with His omnipotence and omniscience, He already IS a part of everything. However, we should choose and move toward and with Him in all we do.

 

PRCA is free to educate/mentor the way God intended, as a community of believers.

I used to play the oboe in band, and I was a gymnast in high school. I played 'Tiny Tim' and 'Toto the dog' in grammar and middle school drama productions. I'm also a SCUBA divemaster and know how to sail small boats.

There is no such thing as coincidence. God is in charge. We're better off when we are able to follow Him than to attempt to pave our own ways.
