About

Marc Hays has been married to Jamie for 15 years. They have 6 children: a single, a double, and a triple. Yep, that’s right—triplets and twins. They have been home educating since 1999 and a part of Classical Conversations since 2010. Marc is a Challenge I & II director and Parent Practicum speaker. He studied music theory and composition at Middle Tennessee State University until he realized that his college debt had grown larger than his foreseeable lifetime income as a composer. Upon that epiphany, he got a job working for a local land surveyor. He has been surveying land now for 17 years and licensed as a professional land surveyor in the State of Tennessee for about a decade. Marc enjoys his morning rituals of drinking coffee, reading books, and peeking in on the kids while they sleep. His favorite coffee is Costa Rican; his favorite author is G. K. Chesterton; and his favorite kids are currently six in number. His lifetime aspirations are subsumed under one prayer: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.” A secondary goal is to be his great-grandchildren’s Challenge director. He is confident that the primary goal will come to pass. He hopes he is blessed with the secondary one as well.
