HI! Thank you for visiting my website. Whatever brought you here today, my sincere hope is that—above all—you know you are wonderfully loved by the God who created you!

I am a writer and speaker for Encouragement That Lasts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry, and author of the book Breathtaking Hope in the Furnace of Infertility. With decades of witnessing spiritual victories arising from ashes, I thrill in proclaiming God’s truths and how His flagrant grace and intimacy is available to anyone.

My foreground is glorious and assured (based John 3:16 and Revelation 21); my background—while interesting—can’t compare. Nonetheless, my experience in the legal field, county administration, local and global church ministries, infertility and miscarriage, crisis intervention, and the home provide a basis for a refreshing diversity (and grip on reality). I’m married to my high school sweetheart, Brad, am part foodie, and no stranger to running power tools. Most importantly, I gave my heart to Jesus Christ as a child and He has never let go of loving me.

You’re in the right place to contact me, place book orders, inquire about speaking engagements, and link to my nonprofit, Encouragement That Lasts, where you’ll find helpful, down to earth blogs and resources providing men, women, and adult youths with biblical truths which nourish the soul and promote intimacy with Jesus Christ. It’s pretty exciting!
