Your Instructor
Dr. Terry Nyhuis was born in 1949 and grew up on a farm in Overisel, Michigan. He has several degrees, including a Bachelor of Arts in Physics, a Masters in Divinity, and a Doctorate of Ministry. In 1970 he married Anita Kollen Nyhuis, and they are currently owned by 2 cats. After decades working as a pastor in various churches, Terry found new passion after he retired, learning and writing about growth and change in the second half of our lives.
Terry is the founder of Halfolescence and the captain of our ship. As the oldest member of our team and the proud owner of several letters after his name, you might expect him to be the most mature and sensible among our number. It would make sense to expect that, but fortunately the opposite is true.
The Halfolescence process seems to have done a real number on our good doctor, and this wily old misfit is full of mischief, a total rule breaker, a renegade and a true lover of life. This does at times make us wonder if perhaps as we age, we’re supposed to become lighter, more youthful and alive… Nah… we’ve probably just been drinking too much Halfolescence kool aid here.
