What's the best part about being a key leader in RPS?

The best part of being a staff member at Gage is simply being able to see the shine in every person we get to interact with daily. The emotional and academic growth that our kids display drives us all at Gage to always look to do better. Simply stated: Our kids deserve our best each day and it is an honor to be a part of their lives.

About Me

For me, personally, every child that walks through our doors I consider to be my child. I have three children with my wife Jennifer that mean the world to me, but over 700 children that deserve love, respect, guidance every day that mean the world to me as well. Having a purpose driven life always us all to wake up each day knowing we are doing what is right in this world…building a positive future for us all. The balance and love of family and commitment to each of you is always at the forefront of who I am as a person.
