He attended Huntertown Elementary and Middle School, and was a member of the first graduating
class from Carroll High School in 1969. He then graduated from Purdue University in Lafayette in
1973. He lives with his wife Barbara and has two sons and one daughter of his own, as well as two

His proudest moments in life were when his three children were born.
Sloffer decided to run for the school board because he has always been involved in some
aspect of education and he felt it was a good way to contribute to the education system. He cannot
pinpoint just one proud moment of being on the school board; however, he is very proud of the
facilities and the staff of the Northwest Allen County Schools. Before his term is over, he hopes to
complete the entire building process and get to the point where the growing levels off, and the need
for building and expanding is no longer necessary.
