I'm the director for our 100+ volunteers in the Creative Arts Ministry. I direct the drama in our two major productions - "The Light" our Easter presentation, and "The Singing Christmas Trees" - both of which draw thousands of people each year from Central Florida and beyond. I team up with our other ministries to add creative elements to services and events. I do a lot of script writing, stage directing, and I love collaboration. I've co-written original songs and stage productions.

"Real Creative" is an interview podcast where I talk to people working in creative artistic fields. They share their stories, struggles, and insights into living a creative life. With "Real Creative," I want to inspire listeners to be more creative in everything they do.

From its beginning over three decades ago, The Trees have become one of Central Florida's most loved and spectacular traditions. Featuring a huge choir, full orchestra, worshipful dance, powerful drama and a beautiful display of 250,000 lights, The Singing Christmas is an exciting presentation of Christmas classics and the pageantry of our two 40-foot-tall Christmas Trees.I have been blessed to participate creatively in the Trees every year since 2010. I became the Creative Arts Director in 2013.
