Our Instructors

Mr. Brad

Hi. I have lived in Tega Cay, SC since 2003 (having moved from just a few miles away in the Steele Creek area in Charlotte).  I graduated with a B.A. in Accounting and Spanish minor from N.C. State University in 1994 (Go Pack!).  My first job out of college was in internal auditing/risk consulting where I traveled nationally and internationally for various companies – amazing experiences to travel the world!.  In 2002, I moved into pharmaceutical sales and then years later into medical device sales.  I am so thankful for those experiences.  So, why Bricks 4 Kidz?  One word – Radical!

Radical is the name of a book written by David Platt.  It was the catalyst for starting Bricks 4 Kidz – check it out, but be careful, it may radically change your life :-) !  I’m thankful it has changed mine.  One thing I realized through this book is the importance of letting go of the ”American Dream” and doing something that focuses on others, rather than self, and that shares God’s love in some small (or Big) way.  What better way to help BUILD brighter futures than right here in Tega Cay and surrounding area and by using one of the world’s most popular and educational toys?! 

I hope to see your child at one of our programs – it’s an experience you won’t want to miss and is truly ‘radical’!

 

PS   Interesting fact – Have you ever noticed what name the last 4-digits of our phone number spells?   Check it out if you don’t know and remember this – We didn’t choose it.  Nor was it assigned to us by any person.  It’s a total God thing- is He awesome, or what?!!

 Miss Furr

 Hi!  I’m Miss Furr and I grew up in Fort Mill, SC.  I graduated with a B.A. in Early Childhood Education from the University of South Carolina Columbia in 2010 (Go Gamecocks!).  I teach First grade at Gold Hill Elementary in Fort Mill. 
 
Interesting fact: I was a first grader at GHES when the school opened in 1996, so I feel at home there.
 

My goals include:

  • Creating a learning environment which focuses on cooperation, compassion, and respect for others.
  • Focusing on educational approaches to meet the needs of every child.
  • Fostering a community of learners who communicate and work respectfully, responsibly, and resourcefully.
  • Developing and maintaing open lines of communication with students and families.
 
My hobbies include spending time with family and friends, reading, running, and watching football and baseball. 
 
I look forward to working with you at a Bricks 4 Kidz class, camp, or birthday party!
