For the past two decades I have been a mentor and coach to individuals and groups pursuing relational, personal and spiritual guidance. My experience as a Division I college basketball player and as an assistant college basketball coach taught me the power of synergy. My time working at a Bible Church formed me as a leader, facilitator and speaker. Mentoring college students equipped me with the art of listening, the skill of asking questions, and the intuition to respond. Earning a master's degree at seminary cultivated my curiosity to keep learning. But it wasn’t until I came out as a gay Christian in a conservative community that I learned the courage necessary to keep living my story whether others rejected me or not. Learning that my integrity was enough for me to keep moving forward was powerful. I will never have all the answers but the journey to keep investing in my own growth is worth the hard work. My passion now is to be a safe and encouraging place for others to awaken, discover, and live their story.
