I began working at The Geneva School in July 1999. Little did I know, all these years later, I would still be here doing what I’ve always done. I started my tenure teaching PE to every student in the school while attempting to build an athletic program from scratch—no easy feat in a school as small as Geneva was in those days. But, little by little, we were able to field more and more teams, and even occasionally find a win or two. Thankfully, my days of walking the halls begging students to play sports so we could field a team is now just a memory!
Geneva has always been blessed with exceptionally gifted and passionate coaches. More and more, those coaches are on staff and in the building during the school day. This, as you might expect, has made a huge difference to our programs and has allowed coaches to be more readily available to our students and their families. As athletic director, I have always considered my job description to be a simple one: serve the Lord by serving our Geneva families and coaches. I believe that approach is the reason for my longevity. I hope I have been a blessing to Geneva, but I am certain Geneva has been a blessing to me. To have been surrounded by such an amazing community of people all these years has helped shape the person that I am today, and for that I am eternally grateful. My daughters are both proud graduates of The Geneva School (Carolina ’21, Emmy ’22) and Palm Beach Atlantic University.
It has been a joy to have witnessed firsthand the steady growth and flourishing taking place here. I drive in every morning amazed by the beauty of this place both inside and out. And it’s especially astounding when I think back to our school’s humble beginnings. Our faithful Geneva community recognizes and acknowledges the Lord has clearly found favor on us, and for this we are thankful.
