Marc and his wife, Amy, will celebrate their 24nd wedding anniversary this year. They are blessed with two children, Olivia and Darin. Their family has been homeschooling with Heritage Christian School since 2012, when their oldest, Olivia (Class of 2024) started first grade. They have attended Bonita Class Day since 2012, where they have thrived in the loving and harmonious environment amongst the Bonita families. Through this group they have made some amazing friendships and worked with wonderful mentors and encouragers throughout their homeschool journey. They have also been involved with HCS Drama Club, HCS Concert and Jazz Bands, HCS OneAchord Choir, and, most recently, the HCS Honor Society and HCS Basketball Clubs.

Professionally, Marc has served as a Naval Officer for 27 years and currently a Commodore for a squadron of ships at Naval Base San Diego. He has an MBA from the University of Hawaii and a Master’s of Science in Strategy, This is his second term on the Board, and Marc welcomes the opportunity to give back to the school that has given so much to his family.

Between Amy and Marc, she first felt the call to homeschool after Olivia finished kindergarten. Admittedly, Marc was skeptical at first. However, after he attended an HCS homeschooling seminar, he too, felt called to homeschool. There was just something special about HCS and he knew that these were the kind of Christ-centered families they wanted to be around as they educate their children with a Christian perspective. They feel extremely blessed to live in a country where homeschooling is allowed.

The Dads Only session is a casual, conversational look at the issues and questions Dads have regarding how to support, be involved, and understand more about homeschooling.
