How I live my faith

I love sharing my belief through the service I render in my profession, In my elected position as a school board member, and as a husband and father in my home. My faith defines who I am, and I love surrounding myself with people who are passionate about life, education, children, and exploring spirituality. I enjoy serving in my local congregation in whatever capacity I am asked, and have enjoyed serving in the Primary organizaiton that teaches little children from 18 months to 11 years old, in the Young Men's organization as a Boy Scout leader, in the Elder's Quorum that is one of the Church's priesthood organizations, as a counselor to the Bishop, and currently as my congregation's choir director.
The main way I share my faith is by example. Being a principal of a public school, I don't have the opportunity to overtly share my beliefs with others, but I find ways to share my faith through living the moral principles that I have learned throughout my life as a member of the LDS church. My belief that all of us are children of God helps me as I help students and families navigate their way through school and family life. Helping our community raise productive members of society through teaching children and families the principles of forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, service, work, and wholesome recreational activities is what gives me the greatest satisfaction in life.
The most important way that I live my faith is through raising my own family in a way that helps my own children see the benefits of living the gospel of Jesus Christ each and every day. As our own children grow, they will have the opportunity to take what they have learned in our home, and make their own decision about how to live their lives. I hope that as they see the example my wife and I have set through living gospel principles (however imperfect we are) that they will see that the greatest joy in life comes through Faith in Christ, and through following His example.
