God is good! Why T & I?

Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love can be....

As a kid I had a love for making things out of whatever. I guess I get it from my Dad. He always told me, "Son, you come from a long line of improvisers". It's true. My Dads' father was an entrepreneur. He and my Grandmother survived the depression because of his great improvisational spirit, resiliency and determination. My Mothers' father was a lumberjack and farmer. Whenever something broke he fixed it. He was the fix-it man for all of the widows and handicapped people in his town. My father and mother carried on that same spirit and passed it on to me. A love for tinkering, shop in high school, a Masonry certificate from Tech school, 25 more years of awesome construction learning opportunities, caring friends and a submission to Gods' guidance have brought me here to a place so awesome I would never have imagined it in my own mind. This past year and a half has been an undeserved and blessed time for me. A teaching job and NTI. This summer I will move into a brand new house, virtually debt free, in the beautiful town of Pine Mountain (my new property borders the state park!). I almost forgot to mention that the principal of Harris County High School is sending his "recommendation to hire" to Harris County's personnel director. I've accepted the job to teach construction there, ten and a half miles from my house! God is good!

My wife and I have taught bible study classes from second graders on up to the college level. I've always loved working with kids. Just like Tracy, I can see how God has prepared me for this job. A while back a good friend of mine, who works for Muscogee county, told me about the opening at Carver and said I'd make a good teacher. I talked to my wife about it, quit my construction business and the rest is history! Harris County High School will be my place of retirement if they'll have me that long! Dr. B, your recommendation for me to take the job at Harris county was a real convincer. It meant a lot coming from you. Thank you for your advice. I'm so excited!
