Life is change; mine has been all about it. 
As the child of a USAF officer, and through 25+ years of itinerant ministry in the United Methodist Church, I have learned (not always gently) that peace comes when one learns ​to bloom where one is planted. I have learned to find friends in strangers, make homes in unfamiliar places, and create life-giving work from the most unlikely of circumstances.
My work in coaching and mentoring helps individuals and congregations flourish, particularly in times of change.
From mentoring to sermon coaching to spiritual direction,
I am ready to help you hone your craft and feel better equipped
for your work in this world.
Every situation can bear fruit and every person can excel.
My work and my hope rely on the movement of the Spirit, 
the ability to discern purpose in the midst of disruption, 
and the careful work of finding the genius in each person.​
