Our Hosts
Daniel & Megan
Daniel and Megan Craig are passionate about home education, discipleship, and the Church. Both first-generation homeschool graduates, Daniel and Megan have a great burden to build on all their parents taught them. Married for 8 years with four children in tow, they are in the throes of learning what it means to raise a family to the glory of God. Daniel operates an accounting firm and serves as the Marketing Director for Generations Homeschool.
Brandee
Brandee and her cowboy husband enjoy serving as fourth generation ranchers on the family operation in Northeast Colorado raising beef cattle, quarter horses, chickens and bees. She is so thankful she left the world of teaching collegiate anatomy to become a full-time mama. The Lord called her to spend her days homeschooling her four cowpokes (with one of those precious boys already in heaven). She encourages others by telling them that no time invested in our children will ever be wasted. Her deepest prayer is that she will raise these men to be warriors for Christ and passionate learners. Brandee deeply loves Jesus Christ, home discipleship, patriotism, agriculture, volunteering, hard work, and speaking the truth with love and laughter. You can connect with her at BrandeeGillham.com.
Sam & Bekah
Sam and Bekah Rust are second generation homeschool parents, married for 11 years and blessed to parent 7 children. Together they are passionate about the local church, raising up the next generation for the Lord, and providing their children with a Christ-centered education. Sam is a managing partner at Life Bridge Capital, a private equity group focused on commercial real estate, and is a board member of CHEC.
