Dr. Arbery was invited to speak at Oakcrest by Mrs. Lisa Kenna, Oakcrest Master Teacher, English Literature. He was Mrs. Kenna's professor for three degrees: Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy at Thomas More, Masters in English and Masters in Humanities at University of Dallas.
Dr. Arbery came to Wyoming Catholic in 2013 primarily to teach in the Humanities track, but he was drawn to the whole curriculum, the excellent faculty, and the strong Catholic character of the College, all of which he hopes to further in his tenure as President. Dr. Arbery and his wife Virginia, who teaches Humanities, Trivium, and Philosophy at Wyoming Catholic, have eight children (seven daughters) and sixteen grandchildren, all of whom love to visit Wyoming at every opportunity.
