New Faces at BHCS 

What is your new role at BHCS and what are you excited about this year? 

I will be bus driving morning and afternoon and I will be helping out the maintenance team with maintenance around the school grounds in the middle part of the day.

I am excited to meet new  people and establish relationships. I am also excited about being a part of BHCS and it’s future and my contribution to it. 

What did you do previously?

I was a maintenance officer at Maranatha Christian School, collectively for 17 years over a 22 year period.  For 5 years full time we purchased 2 houses bringing men off the streets for the sake of the Gospel, using this as a platform to build relationship and to teach life skills in a safe environment. 

What do you like to do for fun?

I love my family and my 3 grandchildren, (they keep me young at heart) to hang out with them is amazing and my own kids too, oh and my wife as well (LOL). 

We like to travel, camp, discover new places for the first time, and to contribute and enjoy our church community and extended family.
