We love that your story began at BH! Where did you go after 91猫先生? Tell us a little bit about your undergrad and education beyond 91猫先生.

TJ – 鈥淚 attended Baylor University and majored in Business Journalism. I was involved in a fraternity and wrote for the school newspaper. I loved my time at Baylor, so much so that I attended law school there as well. Law school was a challenging but rewarding experience. Baylor’s law school is incredible, and I was involved in mock trial and Student Bar Association. I am still involved with the trial advocacy program at Baylor Law, and my two brothers (also 91猫先生 grads) are also Baylor Law graduates. I graduated Cum Laude from Baylor Law in 2015.”

Heather – “I attended Dallas Baptist University. I majored in broadcast communications, and was on the dance team as well as involved in an on campus sorority. I also led on-campus tours for prospective students as a DBU Tour Guide. I graduated DBU in 2013 and am still involved in alumni events.”

TJ & Heather – 鈥淲e are in Dallas, Texas. TJ is a Partner with a litigation boutique law firm, Crawford, Wishnew & Lang, PLLC. Heather is a real-estate agent with Compass in Dallas. We have one daughter, Savannah, and attend Park Cities Baptist Church. We live in East Dallas near the Lakewood area.”

You are doing amazing things! How did BH prepare you for these experiences and help you be successful?

TJ & Heather – 鈥�91猫先生 primarily prepared us for what to expect in college. The expectations that professors in college had was very similar to the expectations the 91猫先生 professors had. We recognized fairly quickly that not all college students had that level of preparation and there was a significant learning curve for them attempting to cope with the college experience.”

That’s amazing to hear. How did 91猫先生 prepare you for your journey? How did 91猫先生 prepare you for where you are right now?

TJ & Heather – 鈥�91猫先生 helped us grow and mature in ways that prepared us for what to expect in college and beyond. 91猫先生 specifically prepared us for the organizational and daily diligence requirements that college and graduate school require and gave us a foundation that others did not have. Spiritually, 91猫先生 grounded us and gave us the knowledge and confidence in our faith heading into college.”

We are so glad to hear that! When you look back on your time here, what BH faculty member impacted you the most? What would you say to them?

TJ & Heather – “Mr. Travis was both of our choice for this question. Mr. T – thank you. We both do not think you realize the significant and positive impact you made on both of us at a very young age. I (TJ) regularly think of things you taught and things you would say about clear and concise writing, even today in my law practice. Your energy and passion were unmatched, and we both are thankful for you.”

Shout out to Mr. Travis! Lastly, what do you hope for the future of 91猫先生 and its students?

“We both hope, for every 91猫先生 student, that they can enjoy their experience as much as we did. That is the best thing we could hope for!”
