Joe Neff serves as Senior Ambassador for Transformational Education with TeachBeyond. Previously as Upper School Principal at Little Rock Christian Academy. Having paused in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Wheaton, Illinois as a Christian school administrator, he has had lots of opportunity to build bravehearts directly and lead those who do. A graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and Arizona State University, he has some pretty random adventures in being a Braveheart such as getting lost in a snowstorm in the mountains of Arizona, being the first boy in his rural Kentucky family to go to college, running a camp in the Gila Wilderness, and coaching an undefeated high school volleyball team. And now living in England after time in Vietnam.
His own four children, all grown up now, provide an assortment of Braveheart stories. They have climbed Mt. Ranier, worked as river guides on the Arkansas, travelled Central America, played on a state championship soccer team, created a new adaption of Lord of the Flies, headed Women's Ministries, studied at L'abri, set up a student organization to raise thousands for AIDS, and survived in NYC as a Starbuck's barista. Joe and his wife of forty-seven years, Dana, keep learning and making new memories as God takes us on this amazing adventure with Him.
