About Me
I love being in a front row seat watching God moving in the lives of those around me. My passion is helping men and women encounter Jesus, discern their uniqueness in God's story, and move forward in faith and service.
Interests
Anything on the trails or on/in water. I enjoy family and friends around the table, good conversations, big hugs, warm cookies, and a well-written book.
Favorite book
Oh, how to choose?? Ones that have shaped me the most are the Bible (of course) and My Utmost for His Highest, as well as books by Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, Henri Nouwen, Ruth Haley Barton,... But I also love a good story (Endurance, Unbroken, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, A Light in the Darkness, Homegoing...); biographies (Team of Rivals...), and suspense...
Movies/Shows
Life is Beautiful, Sound of Music, Les Miserables, Wicked.
Childhood Memory
Swimming across Lake Washington with friends to go to swim team.
Super Hero Power
Being able to remember the names of everyone I meet.
