Rob and his wife Pam have four children. He became a teacher out of his love of helping people discover the world of theater. His prayer for our students is that they may have wisdom and be life long learners.  Something that would surprise most people about Rob is that he and three friends won “America’s Funniest People” in 1990 and $10,000. He remembers as a child going to his friends’ houses with his parents and putting on plays for them. To the question “A time you got in trouble as a teen?” he replied “I never got in trouble because I didn’t get caught! When he is not at JE, he and Pam facilitate marriage/relationship workshops, reading, movies, walking time with my family and he pastors a house church. His favorite Bible verse is “No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening-it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way” Hebrews 12:11.
