Terry struggled as a young boy because many people thought he was a young girl for the first few years (small, soft, pink). Terry grew up in a small town in Indiana and graduated from high school in a small town in Indiana as well. At about ninth grade, Terry was diagnosed with a retinal disorder called Stargardt’s disease. Basically, it meant he would continue losing sight through adolescence then level off at legally blind until his geriatric years.
Terry made a conscious choice to thrive despite the circumstance. After graduation in 1984, Terry attended Vincennes University, where he met the woman who would complete and contain him. He married Pam Hall in November 1987 in Stockwell, Indiana. Pam and Terry moved to Indianapolis in 1988 and started their own family in November 1991 with Angelise. Spencer joined the group in January 1995. Terry eventually returned to his undergraduate education in IT and math at the University of Indianapolis in 1994. He graduated with a 3.0 in 1997. Terry has worked as several kinds of technology professionals since then. He saved the world from the Y2K computer disaster in 1999 and eventually incorporated himself as an independent IT consultant in 2009.
Now, after thirty-five years of overcoming blindness, thirty years of marriage, and twenty-five years of parenting, Terry has decided to redefine parenting. With Pam’s careful, unconditional guidance, Terry has the confidence and fierce determination to help other parents raise their children with purpose. “Train up a child in the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6, ESV).view less
