Teaching Philosophy 

While I believe learning is a dual responsibility, I also believe it is the teacher's mandate to ensure students have what they need to learn.  Therefore, I will endeavor to determine what students need from me in order to learn the concepts. 

I believe that it is essential we teach in such a way as to encourage “Creative thinking” as well as “Critical thinking”.  While both of these are important, I want to teach in a way that encourages “creative” thinking first then secondly “critical” thinking.

Background

I spent most of my childhood as a Missionary kid in West Africa.  From grade 5 on I was in boarding school.  I went to Okanagan college for Electronics Engineering but left that for a business venture in sawmilling and logging.  After getting married, Cheryl and I went to Prairie Bible College where I graduated with a Bachelor of Ministry.  We spent seventeen years in full time pastoral ministry where I was assistant pastor and later lead.  After retiring from pastoral ministry, I graduated with my MALM from Briercrest seminary.  I currently own and operate two corporate farms with up to 30 staff members.  I am a founding member and current president of “Thousand Hill’s Land Stewardship Foundation”.  My wife and I have four children and one son-in-law and are looking forward to grandkids in the immanent future!

Research Interests

I am always interested in business ventures and am continually researching ways to add value to existing ventures as well as new ones.
