Darin Scheidly (parent) As a GMC parent and father of three boys in Greenville County schools, the opportunity to be directly involved in their scholastic future would be an honor for me. I have proudly spent the last 12 years in the mortgage industry assisting families meet the financial requirements for home ownership. In April 2013, I will begin my new position with Certus Bank as the Vice President Sales & Operations Support Manager. Additionally, I have been a certified Mortgage Instructor with Training Pro for the past eight years in licensing and education for national mortgage companies, which has increased my understanding of a multitude of teaching methods and result-based outcome. In 2008, I ran for District 21 School Board because I believe in the need for parental involvement in our children’s education and for parents to have alternatives such as charter schools. As GMC prepares for its future, and as a proud GMC parent, I would like to participate directly in the school's core building block, the GMC Board. I understand that hard work lies ahead and ask for the opportunity to be part of this important process as a committed member of the GMC Board. Go Blazers! Matt Williams (current board, parent) I have been married 23 years and have five children ages 17 to 6. My oldest two – Matti and Micah attend GMC; Mattison will be graduating from GMC and The Fine Arts Center this year. I am originally from Myrtle Beach, SC and attended Clemson University where I received a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education. After graduating from Clemson my wife and I moved to Texas to attend Dallas Theological Seminary. We moved to Greenville in 1995 to plant a church. I am the Founding Pastor and Directional Leader of Grace Church. The reason I would be willing to continue to serve as a GMC board member is because I fundamentally believe that if you are going to be a part of something you should not simply be a taker but also a giver.
