What do you enjoy most about CCS?
The things that I enjoy the most at Cornerstone are the Christian, family, and community atmosphere; the support and love; the positivity; my co-workers; and, of course, our students and families.
Tell us about your family!
Currently, I live in Oxnard, California, where I have spent 45 of my 47 years of life. I have been married for 21 years to my wife (Debbie), and we have two adult/children. Our son (Jacobe) graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a BA in English, and is currently student/teaching at the high school level in Murrieta, California. Our daughter (Mikaila) just started her third year of college at Cal Lutheran University where she is planning to earn a multi-subject credential to be a kindergarten teacher. How time flies!
What is your favorite scripture verse and why?I Corinthians 13: 4-7. This part of scripture contains some of my favorite verses because I believe that love is a crucial part of living a fulfilling and impactful life.
”4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
