Relative at GWC

I just found out that a relative of mine on my husband's side is at George Wythe College getting his Ph.D. Cool, huh? He used to be the director of the American Leadership Academy charter school. Here is the blurb I found on him after remembering that he was involved with the charter school:

"Ruel Haymond believes very strongly in Leadership Education, particularly using the Thomas Jefferson Education approach. He has his Bachelors and Masters degrees from Utah State University and is currently working on this PhD in Constitutional Law from George Wythe College. For the past year, he has been working on the Peaceable Schools project with Brigham Young University’s College of Education, under the direction of Dean Richard Young. The work has involved creating literature guides, using classic books, to teach at-risk youth from academic strategies to social skills. He has worked as a director of a Charter School and is currently working in a variety of educational arenas. He strives to implement and incorporate the principles of TJED into every facet of inspiring and learning.

He was raised in the Washington, D.C. area and now lives in Santaquin, Utah with his wife and six children."

Small world, huh? I'm going to try and get in touch with him.
