Professional Background: Dr. Suranyi spent 21 years in private practice as a board certified Anesthesiologist at St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard, California. Although clinical care and patient interactions have been vocationally and personally rewarding, his passion for other interests, including Christian ministry, teaching, and horticulture have led him to early retirement from medicine.
Philosophy of Education: Being made uniquely in God’s image, we have an innate curiosity about our world and an inner desire to know our Creator. The complexity, as well as manifold dimensions of God’s created order, require an honest, objective, and systematic, yet humble approach to learning. It necessitates the integration of the spiritual, mental, and physical realm of the natural world. Ultimately our goal in learning is not solely the pursuit of understanding, but rather, bringing glory to God in such pursuits.
