“With the move, we invested in family," Bullock said. “My wife and I got to know the essence and realness of being Mom and Dad. It saved our family.”
Bullock and his wife, Camillie, became immersed in growing their church, Haven of Hope Covenant, from 13 members to one that now welcomes more than 600 members.
In addition to growing their church, the Bullocks reared their children and became involved with Durham Tech. Each of the children were homeschooled until 10th grade when five of the seven began Durham Tech’s Middle College, with two of them giving the Commencement speeches at their Middle College graduations. The remaining two children attended Durham Tech in other capacities and the ties to Durham Tech didn’t stop with the Bullocks’ children. Camillie attended Durham Tech, and she received a President's Scholarship toward her ministry studies.

Behind every new clinical trial is a team of individuals trained to interview, collect data, enter data, monitor programs, and ensure everything adheres to government mandates and industry standards.
In the mid-1990's, the City of Medicine was in dire need of clinical trials professionals due to the boom in clinical research from institutions like GlaxoSmithKline, Duke Medical Center, and UNC Hospitals.
Demand for jobs skyrocketed and Durham Tech was ready to respond.
Lee Ferrell, a board member with the local chapter of the Society of Clinical Research Associates, said there were thousands of trials going on in the area and the need for comprehensive training was great. At the time, the Society was providing continuing education programs through Duke University Medical Center but could not keep up with demand.
Ferrell approached Durham Tech in 1996 with the idea of starting a two-year degree program for clinical trials, and in 1998, the program was approved.
