Fred and his almost-completely-perfect wife, Beth, have one son, Mark, who lives in Wichita, Kansas with his wife, Debra and their son, Christopher. They homeschooled Mark from birth until he went away to college. For more than 12 years, Fred has spoken at numerous homeschool conventions in Arkansas, as well as in Texas, Missouri, New York and Oklahoma.

Additionally, Fred has made a number of presentations on more pastoral topics, aimed at encouraging homeschool parents, particularly fathers, in making their homeschool experience as effective and rewarding as possible.
