Description

Today our guests are Brent Jurgensen and Tom Grogan.We talk to Brent and Tom about the importance of virtues and how virtues are our values in action. They share about the busyness of family life today and how we need to provide tools for both families and educators to focus on supporting students on who they want to be and what is most important to them. Brent and Tom also share why it is necessary to give students opportunities to think about, reflect on, and apply virtues in their lives. Brent Jurgensen is a 24-year veteran in the world of education and coaching. He is a graduate of the University of Wyoming and Chadron State University. Brent was named the James Madison Fellow for the state of Wyoming in 2012. Named Coach of the Year for the State of Wyoming twice, contributed to 13 state championship teams, coached 24 individual state champions, and seven state record holders in track and field. He has also created an ethics and leadership curriculum, ventured into business ownership, and works in sports broadcasting.  Brent lives in Casper, Wyoming with his wife, Heather, and his children, Royce and Piper, while the eldest, Paisley, continues her education in St. George, Utah.
