On a Personal Note:

Dr. Schulz is a deeply commited Christian whose faith is the cornerstone to his passion for science, justice, mental health, and the law. Having been fortunate enough to be married to his best friend, he and his wife love working together to raise their two fabulous kids. As a transplant to NC, he and his family have grown to develop a deep appreciation for the mix of mountains, ocean, BBQ, warm weather, and southern hospitality. As an avid sports fan, he has yet to choose sides in the rivalies between Duke, UNC, and NC State, but remains loyal to the OSU Buckeyes and catches as much ESPN as possible.
