Kevin Swanson was himself home schooled at the beginning of the movement in the 1960's, graduating from his home school in 1981. His father joined the Institute for Creation Research (www.icr.org) in the early 1960's, and chose home schooling as a means of inculcating a biblical worldview in his children. Now, Kevin continues his father's legacy as a leader in the present-day home education movement in America. Mr. Swanson has a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and worked in engineering and corporate management for ten years prior to joining Christian Home Educators of Colorado (www.chec.org) as the Executive Director in the late 1990's, where he served in that capacity until August 2009. He now serves as a director of CHEC and hosts the world’s largest daily home school radio program (www.kevinswanson.com), called "Generations." Mr. Swanson has authored numerous books including, “the Second Mayflower”, and “Upgrade, the Ten Secrets for the Best Education for your Child.”
