He’s worked as a chaplain of a private high school for six years, taught high school English for thirty-one years, chaired an English department for three years, and coached high school soccer for ten years. He holds a Master’s degree, and is the father of eight children—two biological and six adopted (foreign and domestic)—and four grandchildren. He has also encountered the trauma of losing a child following all the jarring experiences of an enduring terminal illness.
