HSFT Club Admins

We are Brendan and Susan Bowman and have homeschooled our daughter, Tori, since she was in 5th grade. We began organizing fieldtrips to take Tori on her first homeschool “fieldtrip” and learned by taking a few friends with us, everyone would save a little bit of money. We found a few families who told their friends who told their friends and several years later, we continue to meet new friends and attend events together. Susan does not attend all fieldtrips any longer, but always has a designated person as the fieldtrip “lead” identified in meeting instructions.

Tori had some unique struggles early in life that caused learning and other developmental delays. She has now finished school and is easing into the next chapter of life. When she attended public school she only experienced a few fieldtrips, so you will find her enjoying events for all ages when she can. She is working on an internship as a pet groomer while actively building her babysitting/house/pet-sitting business; very active in our church, young adult/student ministries, volunteers with programs/camps for children (including special needs children); and helps with check-in and other responsibilities for HSFT Club fieldtrips when her time allows.

In addition to voluntarily running HFC, Susan owns a private business providing business management/accounting to outpatient specialized therapy clinics for children with special needs. 

Susan also serves as primary caregiver for her aging mother, who is overall healthy, but has residual issues from being hit by a drunk driver several years ago and is now living with our family and attending fieldtrips with us when possible.
