Garver grew up in In
dianapolis, Indiana and attend
ed Ben Davis High School, the
second largest school in In
dianapolis with a graduating
class of over 1,000 students.
In his high school days
Garver took part in tennis,
baseball, football and basket
ball. “Basketball was my
thing,” Garver said. “I lived for
basketball in my high school
years. I attended camps and
really wanted to go somewhere
just playing basketball.” He ad
ded though, “I had no inten-'
tions of playing pro-ball, but it
paid for my college and got me
where I’m at now. Garver is
more into the coaching aspect
of the sport.
In high school Garver
received letters from Anderson
College in Indianapolis and
through Anderson and the
Church of God he got to
Warner Pacific graduating
there in 1980 in Physical
Education.
While attending Warner
Pacific, Garver met his wife,
June. Having been married
three years the Garvers now
have an 18-month old
daughter and are expecting
another. “It better be a boy,”
Garver said.
Two years ago Garver
went through the Lewis and
Clark College placement office
and noticed the job opening at
CCC so he put in his resume.
“I had a really good resume,”
Garver said. “It got me in the
door.” Garver has been with
CCC for two years now.
Garver said that while
working here he plans on going
to Portland State University for
his masters, but he’s satisfied
here for now. “I’m really con
tent staying at Clackamas,” he
said. “If things open up in the

Garver finds a difference

keep getting the support from
