Homeschool Support
A Look
Behind the
Scenes of
an Amazing
Convention
By Donna Rees,
Managing Editor
The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine
is making plans to
partner with Brennan Dean, founder
of the recently held MidWest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati, to
host four outstanding homeschool
conferences around the nation in 2011.
I had the privilege of interviewing
Brennan following the Cincinnati
convention, which was held in April
2010. It gives us great pleasure to
introduce you to this homeschooling
father who has a vision to honor the
Lord Jesus Christ by providing homeschooling families with an affordable
convention offering an abundance of
homeschooling instruction, information, ideas, and encouragement.
TOS: Before we talk about the
convention, would you tell us a little
about yourself and your family?
My dad was a very conservative
pastor—mostly in Michigan and
Ohio. I went to Hobe Sound Bible
College thinking I would follow in his
footsteps, but those plans changed.
I ended up in the Christian music
business for 10+ years, working as a
manager and promoter with folks like
the Gaither Vocal Band, Steven Curtis
Chapman, Chonda Pierce, and others.
