Meet Antone.
Dr. Antone Goyak is an educator, academic leader, and credentialed coach whose career spans the mathematics classroom, the dean's office, and the local church. He has taught in Eleven:6's online MA Christian Leadership program since 2014 (Clarks Summit U, then Southwest Baptist University), and he currently also teaches online mathematics for Liberty University while serving as an Associate Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation — bringing a student-centered approach that blends academic rigor with personal encouragement and practical growth.
In the online classroom he is known for clear communication, timely feedback, and steady presence. His coaching background shapes how he teaches — guiding students through challenges, asking thoughtful questions, and drawing out deeper learning rather than simply handing over answers. He understands the realities adult learners face and balances rigor with empathy and flexibility, a conviction reflected in his published writing on online instruction.
He brings substantial academic-leadership experience to that work. Over more than a decade at Northland International University he served as Department Chair of Mathematics Education, Dean of the College, and Vice President of Academic Affairs, and he later led content and learning solutions for Bob Jones University's school of continuing, online, and professional education. He has also served as an executive pastor and is the author of Visible Men: Manifesting Christ in Marriage.
Grounded in a Christian worldview, Dr. Goyak believes online education opens doors for growth that many students would not otherwise have. Teaching matters to him because it lets him invest in students during pivotal seasons of personal and professional development — encouraging resilience, wisdom, and lifelong learning so they can positively influence their families, workplaces, and communities.
He holds a Doctor of Education from Liberty University, and a Master of Education in Mathematics Education and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Bob Jones University.
