We hold these Truths to be Self-evident!
Soli Deo Gloria!
Jamie is a mild-mannered Amish boy with a penchant for cross-country croquet and cat-juggling… pretty typical stuff. He is also the founder of Project American Life (PAL) “Where America’s Founding Principles Come to Life” and the creator of its comprehensive curriculum, “American Treasure: Rediscovering the Spirit of 1776.”
Jamie once thought he was doing the most difficult job in the world when he was teaching 200 kids a week in the PAL program. He soon discovered his grave miscalculations and worldly naïveté… when he started teaching just two… every day… 24/7… as stay-at-home Dad for his own whimsical children. These days, Jamie moonlights as a writer (and speaker / musician) addressing cultural, moral, and spiritual topics.
With the prevailing culture having been greatly corrupted, many Americans are feeling encircled and entangled in many realms… to the point of feeling demoralized. However, there is abiding hope in the living promises of America’s Founding Principles. Those who have seen PAL in action have strong reasons for this enduring optimism: We have beheld the “self-evident” in the lives of countless young people!
“Why stand we here idle?” The Truth still sets us free!
Let us Restore America…
One Child at a Time!

Project American Life
For 25 years, Project American Life has inspired tens of thousands of students through its four-day experiential adventure. With the Founding Principles of The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution as our starting point, students begin reaching for their greatest dreams… stretching beyond the smallness of self-gratification towards the enduring magnificence of building the “Shining City on a Hill!” Soli Deo Gloria!
