The DLRC is staffed by Jonathan Steffen, who is also an AERC consultant.

Jonathan and his wife Kari are TCKs (Third Culture Kids) who grew up in the Philippines. His formative years were spent in a remote village in northern Luzon. He was a boarding student from elementary through high school.

Jonathan graduated from Faith Academy where he met Kari. They returned to the United States, were married, and began their careers. Jonathan taught Special Education for seven years in a large public high school in Indiana.

With a heart to serve and a passion for TCKs, Jonathan was asked to return to Asia with his wife and young son to work as an educational consultant to expatriate families.
