Annual Tiger Fund
Gifts to the Annual Tiger Fund make our programs at SJCS more exceptional and more accessible. While tuition covers the basic operating expenses of our school, gifts to the Annual Tiger Fund allow us to go beyond the budget in terms of enrichment and tuition assistance. The Tiger Fund makes it possible for more families to be part of our covenant-based, Christian community with Financial Aid & Scholarships, including pastoral discounts.
Endowment Fund

Each year, students receive character and merit-based scholarships from the Endowment Fund. This fund remains separate from the school's general budget and provides long-term financial stability for the school. Since only the income from prudent investments is distributed for scholarships, a gift made to SJCS benefits not only today's students, but students for generations to come.
Contribute unending, long-term support to SJCS with a gift to the Endowment Fund. Contact us to learn more about contributing to this fund via estate planning.

Professional Biography
I graduated from Calvin University (Grand Rapids, MI) in 2018 with a BA in English Secondary Education and minors in ESL (English as a Second Language) and Spanish. After graduation, I moved to San Jose where I taught as an English and ELD teacher at Willow Glen High School for 4 years. Teaching gave me a great love for supporting students where they are at and helping to foster their growth into more creative and more critical thinkers. As I sought a new career that would continue to support young people but also gave me more opportunities to write and collaborate, God led me to my current position as the Director of Community Development at San Jose Christian. I am excited to have this opportunity to share the great things God is doing in this place.
Personal Biography
I am originally from the Midwest – born in the Chicago suburbs and raised in West Des Moines, Iowa. Since moving to San Jose, I have attended and become a member at Palo Alto Christian Reformed Church. I am a lover of words and good stories, and I have always been a reader. I also enjoy all varieties of flowers, cupcakes, and coffee. My husband and I live in Willow Glen.
Christian Philosophy of Education
I believe in the triune God who is, by nature, communal, and I believe that God created people in the imago dei. We, then, are also built for community and for connection. As a former English teacher, I rooted my instruction on this mission and sought to teach young people to see and use language in ways that develop empathy. Although my role in education has changed, I still see its purpose as a way to connect students with God, the world around them, and with other people. I hope that in telling the story of the school, I can also tell the story of the God who invites these young people into a divine relationship and Christian fellowship.

Professional Biography
God has been at work in my life and blessed me with a diverse background of professional experience. I have been the Head of School at SJCS since the 21-22 school year and on staff since 2019. I worked under the previous HOS, assisting with business development and marketing communications. Prior to joining SJCS, I worked with two non-profit organizations (CityTeam and New Generations). During my time with these organizations, I helped drive development through storytelling for international church planting, disciple-making movements, and amazing life transformations through drug & alcohol recovery programs. I also worked with the curriculum development team to create a robust discipleship training program. Prior to my non-profit career, I worked in the high-tech sector for 20+ years and continue to serve on the board of a small software firm. I serve as an Elder at my church home and I serve as a board member for CAPSO (California Association of Private School Organizations). I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business with an emphasis in Marketing (USF) and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration (SFSU).
Personal Biography
I was born and spent my childhood in Simi Valley, CA. My dad’s job took us to Colorado during my early teen years before we moved to Morgan Hill in 1989. The Bay Area has been my home ever since. My wife, Karen, and I have been married since 2004 and are blessed to have a son (Jacob) and daughter (Kaitlyn). I have enjoyed coaching youth leagues in soccer, baseball, and softball for many years. I love the outdoors and getting to experience the many wonders that God has created for us.
Christian Philosophy of Education
When we take into account all things that are important, there is nothing greater than our faith in Jesus Christ and God’s saving grace. I believe strongly in building firm foundations, and there is no better time to do this than in early childhood. Proverbs 22:6 tells us, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” According to Barna Research, a research and resource company focused on the intersection of faith and culture, worldview development starts as early as 18 months, and a child's worldview is largely formed by age 13. This means those values which have been instilled in the child in their early years will stick with them their entire life.
This is why I love the mission of SJCS. We start at an early age with our Infant Care Center and continue to invest in the whole child in elementary school and through their middle school years. Our vision is to prepare students not only for high school but for life. Through a Christ-centered education and accountability, we equip them to become purposeful adults who lead with integrity and flourish in all aspects of life.
