Board of Directors

Advocates for the Best in Education

Board Members at Leadership Academy of Utah (LAU) determine, monitor, and strengthen the programs and services we offer students and ensure we fulfill our mission statement.

LAU Mission Statement

Preparing Promising Students For Meaningful Lives as Principled Leaders

Molly Foster, Chair

We are in a constant state of development and learning. Throughout our challenges, our roots often return us to our connection with those around us, and the most important thing I’ve learned is that we are all born to belong to each other. The Leadership Academy of Utah community is a perfect place for students to accelerate their most important, lifelong relationships.

I have served on testing boards in both Utah and Wyoming, owned a curriculum writing company, and directed several commonwealth schools. My most extraordinary adventures in life have been exploring central Utah with my family of eight.

Tim Erickson, Vice Chair

Raised in a household that highly valued education and leadership, Tim completed dual high school diplomas from Williamsburg Academy and a local charter school and earned an Eagle Scout, fostering an early appreciation for classical and leadership education. He expanded his horizons living in South America, where he learned Spanish. Tim began his higher education in Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University (BYU) but transitioned to the Marriott School of Business, where he earned a degree in Global Supply Chain and Operations Management and graduated as a Ballard Scholar for Social Innovation. Part of Tim’s first steps in his professional journey began at Williamsburg’s “Elevation” program where he worked first as a trail guide and then mentor. He later helped launch LAU's Friday Adventures program in Pleasant Grove. Transitioning into the corporate sector, Tim has excelled as a purchasing manager at an Utah-based kitchen and bath company, and now works as a Global Supply Chain Manager at Tesla. In this role, Tim leads international high dollar Capex projects. Beyond his professional work, Tim is an active contributor to GoCarpathian, an organization focused on creating a more peaceful and prosperous world by connecting talented Eastern European professionals with remote global opportunities. In his personal life, Tim cherishes time with his wife and daughter, and enjoys spending time traveling and outdoors, backpacking and canyoneering. Tim is part of the Trust Lands Committee, integrating feedback from parents to improve LAU.

Jeremiah Rogers, Secretary

Education is central to both the individual lives of students and the growth of a nation. Leadership Academy of Utah educates well, cultivating the next generations to be wise and successful. For this reason, I joined the school’s board to help support the valuable education the school provides.

I recently graduated from a small, local college. I enjoy keeping up with politics, despite the drama and showmanship that fills much of it. I also love thinking and reading and can often be found with my nose in a book.

Joseph Neratko, Treasurer

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn what they need to succeed in life, but they also deserve to learn about what interests them and what they find exciting. I believe that LAU’s vision and mission to provide students with these opportunities is unlike any other I’ve encountered. They prioritize creating safe and encouraging environments for students to feel safe expressing their ideas and themselves openly. I’ve seen it firsthand with each of my children that attend. As a result, I joined the LAU Board of Directors to help ensure your student is continually provided with the best education possible.

I have always enjoyed working with youth, and I spend a lot of my spare time working to provide learning opportunities for them. I have worked as a coach for several years and enjoy helping students learn from both success and defeat. In addition, my wife and I are always spending time with our seven children, and we actively seek to teach them the leadership skills they need to succeed. I can often be found traveling, gardening, and cooking in my spare time.

Theodore Moon, Board Member

Education at its core is the growth and transformation of the student. Student achievement is reflected in the application of that transformative growth. Leadership Academy of Utah provides a unique opportunity for students to cultivate their studies into future leaders through intentional engagement and thoughtful communication that transcends the physical boundaries of traditional schooling. I am confident in LAU’s mission to create graduates with a lifelong love of learning, which I have witnessed in my own children who have attended LAU since 2019.

I completed my undergraduate studies and medical school at Boston University and my postgraduate training at LAC+USC Medical Center. In addition to my work as a pulmonologist/intensivist, I enjoy serving my community, especially its youth, through scouting and bereavement camps. I live in St. George, Utah, with my spouse and two children, and I also enjoy technology and the great outdoors.

Founders & Emeritus Board Members

In February 2015, five Utah parents who were looking for a better educational opportunity for their children teamed up to create a new public charter school. These parents found an educational model at Williamsburg Learning, an Educational Services Provider that was already powering a national private school and a public, online charter school in Nevada. When this group of parents joined forces with Williamsburg, Leadership Academy of Utah was born! LAU was approved by the UT State Board of Education on February 5, 2016, acting on the unanimous recommendation of the State Charter School Board in January.
