Carson, Paul A. Cleveland april.hotchkiss@gmail.com Hi, I'm April Hotchkiss! I'm a wife, married for twenty-three years and a mother of three children whom I've homeschooled for over fifteen years; our eldest graduated from Liberty University last year! I'm a life long learner with a tremendous love for reading, gardening, and sailing. I have a strong entrepreneurial spirit and enjoyed having a hospitality business, hosting guests from all over the world for years. I've been teaching high school government & economics classes to students in homeschooling communities in Florida and California for over three years. I grew passionate about these subjects through teaching my own children. As a Christian, my conviction is rooted in the call God has given us to steward His creation.
