• Who is R.O.C.K. Solid?
• We are a home school family business striving to meet the needs of home schoolers with service, price, and the heart of Christ.

We began R.O.C.K. Solid under God's direction as a home based mail order company on May 10, 1994. The idea was one that we had toyed with for years, and when Nathan's regular full time job with Wal-Mart unexpectedly shifted, the door opened wide to begin this adventure. Our first four-page "cata-list" was stapled at the top corner and printed on neon colored paper so that your eyes hurt when you turned to page two. But hey, you could always find it, right? We hope that we've made progress.  We don't print our catalogs anymore, as our website can hold thousands of selections and we have more room to talk about things online.

We are a home schooling family of five and have successfully graduated three students. Our oldest son, David has recently graduated from AIT in Ft. Eustis, Virginia. Our daughter, Toni, is a graduate of Oral Roberts University and now resides in California.  Our youngest, Patrick, is in his junior year at the University of North Florida. Before retiring from Wal-Mart, Nathan spent 19 years with that company. In January of 1999, he came "home" to take over this ever-growing company. He has our shipping department running like clock work and makes sure all of our computers talk and play with each other well. I (Lindley) work full time with R.O.C.K. Solid, working with our Absolutely Wonderful Webmaster on our website.  I also do our advertising, product review and selection, and lots of customer service. Therefore, dabbling in domestic upkeep is just a hobby that I occasionally indulge in, and finally after 29 years of marriage, Nathan and I are learning to cook together.

We continue to grow by leaps and bounds and struggle happily with every turn. We've made new friendships as we've learned new things and, we've discovered talents in old friendships/relationships (i.e. this website and its maintenance, design, and consultation from home schooling families we've known for years). We have employed many home schoolers, home school parents, home school teenagers, even home schoolers who are now home schooling parents themselves! Thanks to all of you who have helped us grow and who have prayed for us all along the way. It is always needed, welcomed, and very much appreciated.
