Struggling to help my community as a minister and educator, I realized that the turning point for the future of young men was the middle school years. My partnership with Jonathan Janus and our vision for combining these priorities culminted in a vision for a non-profit that would focus on educating young men with the values to succeed inside and beyond the classroom.

I started LEAD Charlotte because I saw a need. As a high school faculty member I recognized the limitations of serving my students in the classroom. The demand quickly overwhelmed my schedule and I realized if I was going to be available to serve the vision of this program we were going to need more time and resources. Since transitioning from the traditional school setting, I have been able to dedicate my time to a new vision where young men are able to receive holistic support for their personal growth.
