    Beverly Finklea grew up in Richardson, Texas. She graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Biomedical Science and a Ph.D. in Genetics. Beverly taught freshman biology and sophomore genetics at The University of Texas from 2000 to 2015 followed by one year of high school biology at a co-op for homeschoolers. She and her husband, Ben, met at A&M and have been married for 28 years. They and their sons, Drew and John, sing in the choir and serve as a communion team at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in Cedar Park. Drew, an Eagle Scout, is working in College Station and saving for school. John, a Life Scout, sings in the school choir and is on the wrestling team at Cedar Park High School. Beverly’s favorite activity is landscaping the backyard.

    Biology is a beautiful science. It's fun to study the layers upon layers of complexity in living systems and to understand how all of the parts function together. The more we understand, the more cause we have to praise our Creator for what He has made.
