Born and raised in Southern California, Mr. Leffert moved to Moscow, Idaho, for his first time through college. Having spent three years in Moscow, Mr. Leffert moved back down to San Diego, California, to work in professional theater as a carpenter and stagehand at several renowned local theaters, as well as in publishing as a graphic designer and layout artist and as an assistant to a youth pastor at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Feeling the desire to finish college, Mr. Leffert moved to Santa Cruz, California, where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Theater Arts with a specification in Theatrical Design and Construction from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Immediately, Mr. Leffert entered the Teacher Training program at National University, based in San Jose, California. After getting married to a Florida native in California, Mr. and Mrs. Leffert moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where Mr. Leffert taught and continued his program at National University via the Internet while Mrs. Leffert began her ascension of the corporate ladder at Chik-Fil-A; she is now the owner/operator at the Boynton Beach Mall Chik-Fil-A. Again, moving, Mr. and Mrs. Leffert found themselves in Southern Florida. Mr. Leffert finished at National University, having received his Master’s Degree in Education. Mr. Leffert has taught ninth, tenth, and twelfth grade English as well as Beginning and Advanced Drama in public schools in Atlanta, Georgia, and Coral Springs, Florida, and is looking forward to a long and wonderful time teaching here at Wellington Christian School.

Mr. Leffert also enjoys cooking, hiking, geocaching, snorkeling, going to concerts, movies, and plays, rollerblading, biking, snow skiing, traveling, and reading.
