Humans of OBU: Faculty Couples

March 8, 2016

 

Scott: “I had it all planned out, I was gonna take Judy to a bluff area to kind of a rock overlooking this really beautiful place and on the way there we had to walk through some brush and she got really afraid there was gonna be snakes. So we never made it. Then we went back to her house and on the back stairs I proposed to her.”

Judy: “Halfway through the proposal,  I said, ‘Oh my gosh, let’s go back to the bluff.’ And he said, ‘No this will be fine.'”

Scott: “When I first began teaching here I had a lot of classes and a lot of students. Students knew who I was but they didn’t really know who my wife was. But I think today, students know more who my wife is and a little bit less about who I am because she’s such a rockstar.”

Judy: “We’re so much alike its scary. We just really get along.”

Scott: “We’re different personalities but so much of our core values are the same that we just mesh.”
