Todd Jenkins joins Legacy Stories to honor his father, Lehman “Bud” Jenkins—a man shaped by a strict upbringing, a determined spirit, and a lifelong drive to rise above the limits others placed on him.

From his early years in Florida to a career that carried him from the Navy to the classroom to leadership in public education, Bud built a life defined by perseverance and quiet resolve. His work often placed him in the center of difficult moments, yet he met each challenge with steadiness and conviction.

In this conversation, Todd reflects on the values his father lived by, the influence those values had on his own calling, and the ways Bud’s determination continues to echo through the generations.
