Real Life Stories: Graduating a First Class with Excellence

By June 23, 2011January 30th, 2023No Comments

Given the fledgling nature of many of our programs, it is often difficult to know if we are heading in the right direction and making the right decisions. We want to retain students throughout the rhetoric years and see whole classes graduate, not just the few who “stick with it.” Hear the journey of Geneva School of Boerne, how they planned and implemented their rhetoric school program and saw the fruit of a successful first graduating class.

Before coming to Geneva, he served as a youth pastor for 22 years, 19 of which were in the same church; during which time he also taught as an adjunct in rhetoric at UT San Antonio. Rob has a BA and an MA in English from the University of Texas at San Antonio and an M.Div. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Though he works in Boerne, Rob and his wife Kathleen, and their twin daughters resides in San Antonio. Rob sees his current role as a combination of all his experience that allows him to prepare the next generation of Christian leaders through the unique conduit of classical Christian education.
