"I'm only a secretary, but I am going to talk with my friends," she said. In a few days she found a house on 42 acres in the country. In two weeks she brought me $10,000 and another $5,000 a week later. Shortly afterwards, we moved the program to Zellwood, Florida.

My wife, Gloria, and I became more and more impressed with the great need to minister to hurting families and their teens with ADHD. In September 1988, I resigned from my management-consulting job at Honeywell to work full time raising money for Advent Home. I planned to purchase land in order to establish a permanent program in the country.

In August 1988, Advent Home was selected for a grant by Adventist-Laymen's Services & Industries (ASI). The money enabled Advent Home to purchase property and, in May 1989, relocate to its present site on 225 acres in Calhoun, TN  By this time we were receiving over 300 calls a year from throughout the U.S. from families who needed our help.

During 2007, Advent Home Youth Services, Inc. changed its name to Advent Home Learning Center, Inc. We are now focusing on remedial schooling, vocational training, lifestyle changes and total wellness for ADHD students.
