Ruth G,

Vice President

I grew up in North Texas and now live in the Austin, TX metropolitan area. Prior to college in Hawaii, I had the privilege to serve as a Christian missionary in Mexico where we built preschools to educate latch-key children, and with Refugee Relief Services in Phanat Nikhom, Thailand supervising a large distribution program which providing clothing to thousands of refugees from Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. There were so many refugee children that were drawn to me it made me realize I have a calling to make a difference in the lives of children. Especially during their foundational years in the hope of impacting generations in a positive way through education.

I attended University of the Nations in Kailua-Kona, HI where I studied Early Childhood Education and Montessori methods with a Christian curriculum, as well as bible and apologetics courses. I used my ECE and biblical foundation to teach children in Sunday schools, in preschools, and in Montessori schools, two of which I owned.

I married, had three sons, and started four small businesses in order to be home with them. I was also the President of my Toastmaster club in Kailua-Kona, HI. As my sons started public school I worked as an Account Executive in a full service advertising Agency in HI.

In 2001, during 9/11, we moved to Austin, TX to be closer to family and farther from hurricanes and seclusion. I began work as a temp in an advertising agency, then as an Account Executive for ABC then for Time Warner Cable developing ad campaigns for hundreds of diverse companies advertising on 44 networks .

In 2011, I took courses to become a Project Manager and Business Analyst and began working on IT software projects to be on the cutting edge technology. I have worked on projects for Dell Technologies, Google, VA Financial Services Center, Schwab, CVS Health, ForcePoint, all branches of the US Government, and many more corporations.

I have been a single parent for my 3 sons over 25 years and have survived to talk about it! I have added the title "Grandma D" to my name as I continue to learn how to be a parent to 3 adult children.

With years of coaching and mentoring several youth, preteen and teen groups as my sons were growing up, then starting singles and single parent groups have all provide me with a collection of experiences and skills which I continue to use to help adults, families, and teens.

In 2017, I founded Best Coaching 4 Life Success LLC to help others be highly successful going through those key transitions in their lives.

In 2023, I converted Best Coaching 4 Life Success into a nonprofit in hopes of helping more adults, families, and teens make successful transitions through each challenging stage of their lives. We have an amazing Board of Directors who are educated in ECE. We have several professionals on our Advisor Board that are supportive of our mission and provide us with knowledge to help us achieve our goals.

I look forward to the growth of our non-profit as we help others.

I received a bachelor's in early childhood education at University of the Nations in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. It has been my privilege to teach, train and develop communities of leaders on six continents. There are few things that compare to seeing the joyful wonder of a child engaged in learning.

Currently, my interest is focused on anthropology and ethnobotany because I want to understand better how knowledge has been passed from one generation to another in a variety of cultures and ethnic traditions.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to spend time supporting families as a part of the Best Coaching 4 Life Success Board of Directors.

The best advertisement I ever read said, “Jesus loves the little children of the world … imagine if they all knew it!”

Rachel Sherrod,

Secretary & Treasurer

TBD-

I am the eldest of 9 siblings. Having experienced a positive homeschool upbringing, I thought I could go into the public-school world and teach kids in a way that fostered the same positive upbringing. So, I received a bachelor's in early childhood education from Texas State University as a member of the Phi Kappa Phi honor society.

I did not end up in a public-school classroom but chose instead to spend the next 5 years tutoring PreK through college ages. I have also been teaching piano lessons for over 10 years.

Besides my pursuits in education, volunteering at our local food pantry has also brought me joy for several years.

Currently, I am the Early Childhood Coordinator for the childcare for events and Sunday school programs at North Way Bible Church, in Leander, TX, where I have served over 15 years in the children and youth ministries.

I have served as the Secretary, Treasurer, and Board member for Best Coaching 4 Life Success since 2023. I record and manage board meeting minutes, assist with document reviews, and organize financials.

My top strengths include adaptability, accuracy, and empathy.
