NON NOBIS
Why I Give On July 1, 2019, my wife and I arrived in Durham with our three boys, Jackson, Jameson, and Jefferson, after our 1,200mile move from Texas. Driving across the country with three children under the age of five was no small undertaking, but it has been worth it. When I first learned about Trinity, I was attracted to the school’s focus on rich and unhurried learning in a Christian environment. After my interview, it became clear that this place was special, and I left convinced that this was where I wanted to be. My first six months of teaching at Trinity have truly been a joy. I’ve formed meaningful friendships with fellow faculty members and relationships with students. Not to mention, I’m also a Trinity parent! My kindergartner, Jackson, learns here; my friends and colleagues educate here; and I spend my time and effort here empowering students to learn and grow. It just makes sense to my wife and me that we invest financially in a place where we are already so invested in many other ways.

For us, it’s not about the amount, but about joining the community of givers and being a part of a philanthropic community that is much bigger than just our gift alone.
