Mary Sullivan Esseff, Ph.D....
President and Director...
In the almost forty years since Peter and I founded Educational Systems for the Future®, I have been ESF's Director. In 1992 when we incorporated, I became President of ESF, Inc. In a small company such as ours, that means doing just about every job that needs to be done:
My greatest gift as Director is that I almost always see the whole picture immediately. My greatest limitation (yes, we all have at least one in life, and this is mine) is that I expect everyone else to see the vision as quickly as I see it (a rare happening). However, as everyone on our staff will attest, I patiently and painstakingly strive to bring everyone up to speed with a rare tenderness that would make Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta proud.
The second of seven children, Mary was born in Philadelphia, PA. In 1964, she went to Salzburg, Austria to study German between her junior and senior years in college. There, she met
Peter Esseff... and the rest is history. Mary knew immediately that he was the one for her. They carried on a friendship through letters and visits. As a member of the Woodstock Jesuit Singers, Peter sang on the
Ed Sullivan Show, Christmas, 1964. Mary was in the audience. In 1965, a year before ordination, he left the Jesuits and they married January 29, 1966 in one of the biggest snow blizzards that Washington, D. C. had ever witnessed.
After spending a year as a Biographic Analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency, Mary, at Peter's behest, stayed home to raise their first child, Jeanne Marie. During those years, while Peter was working on his doctorate in Instructional Technology at CUA, Mary was breathing in all the information he was so excited about. After Peter received his degree in 1969, Mary began her doctoral studies and received her Ph.D. in the same field in 1972. During that time, Peter and Mary founded Educational Systems for the Future® and had their second child, Alice Cecelia, now a Nashville Dominican. In 1977, their third child, Peter Timothy was born.
