The family was introduced to international missions and Sheryl created a Teacher-to-Teacher Training program for the Anglican Diocese in Belize. Today, Sheryl is an instructor at Collin College and is working on a doctorate in Global Leadership with Lamar University. She serves as the Adult Discipleship Minister for St. Philip’s Church.

Sheryl and Robert see Texas A&M as a leader in providing students with study abroad experiences that can equip them to be educators in a global context. They are grateful to have their children (Alex and wife Maya, Sam 2015 and wife Kait 2014, and Hannah 2026) nearby and make it a priority to travel together as often as possible.
