For the last 25 years, he has served as a web development consultant to many Christian ministries. Previously, he spent a decade as a writer, editor, and marketing director.

His first love has always been Bible exposition and teaching, especially the last 30 years as an adult Bible Study teacher at Lake Pointe Church in Rockwall, TX. He has extended that passion into writing books, a commentary, and a devotional, all available on Amazon.

Perry received his B.A. from Sterling College and his Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary, where he has also pursued post-graduate studies.

Don Huffines is a proud fifth-generation Texan, husband, father, grandfather, and self-made businessman.

Don fought for fiscal restraint and government accountability in the Texas State Senate while representing Dallas County’s District 16. He was disgusted by the corruption, backroom deals, and flagrant disregard for Texas taxpayers he witnessed plaguing the Austin swamp.

He authored legislation uncovering the largest government corruption scandal in Texas history: His work eliminated the government agency, Dallas County Schools, that stole tens of millions of dollars from Texas taxpayers.

Don was born and raised In Dallas where he learned the value of a hard day’s work early in life. He supports term limits, pro-life measures, constitutional carry, and school choice.

After graduating with a BBA in Finance, Don and his twin brother Phillip started Huffines Communities—a large real-estate development company that they still own today. And Don is widely respected and recognized as a leader and philanthropist.

He and his wife of 34 years, Mary Catherine, have five adult children, Colin, Devin, Terence, Deirdre, and Russell. They also have two grandchildren, and two more are on the way.
