Charles Bruckerhoff

CHARLES BRUCKERHOFF started life in Augusta, Missouri in 1947. Home was a small farm near The Big Muddy. He spent many days exploring the hills and valleys, fields and streams of the Ozark Mountain foothills. At 19 he joined the United States Army and served in Vietnam. Returning to the USA in 1969, he went to college, studying English, literature, philosophy and research methods. In 1995, he created a firm, Curriculum Research and Evaluation, Inc.

Currently, he devotes time to shepherding the firm now run by his wife, Theresa, family life with a lovely wife, four sons and five grandchildren, friends and neighbors, community service, artisan bread baking, gourmet cooking, gardening, traditional quilting, studying American history, ancient civilizations of the world, the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.
