I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to teach such outstanding students. It has been a privilege to see many of them later send their children to Saint Thomas’. I affectionately referred to them as my "grandstudents".

When I think about why I give to Saint Thomas' Episcopal School, the answer is simple: this community has shaped my family in ways that go far beyond academics. STE challenges students to pursue excellence, but more importantly, it teaches them to love Christ, serve others, and live with honor and integrity. I've witnessed this community celebrate life's greatest joys and faithfully walk alongside our family through our hardest season. That kind of Christ-centered support cannot be measured in test scores or college acceptances—it is the heart of this school. I want every student and family to experience the same love, faith, and sense of belonging that has made STE so meaningful to us.

As a law enforcement officer for 26 years, I know there can sometimes be mixed feelings about police officers in today’s society. However, working at this school has been an incredibly positive experience. From the staff to the students and parents, they have always made us feel welcomed, appreciated, and accepted. We have received nothing but positive feedback, and it is clear that the school truly values the presence and partnership of law enforcement. It has been an honor to work in such a supportive and respectful environment.
