MY STORY

I made the decision to follow Jesus at the age of 19 while attending Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. In the decades since, my walk with him has been an amazing journey filled with blessings and pain, challenges and joy.

Until recently, my career has been exclusively focused on working in the advertising, marketing and branding industries. As a self-employed creative consultant, I’ve worked with more than 300 different companies and non-profits. While serving as an “outsider” to so many organizations, I’ve developed a unique perspective on the challenges of balancing demanding needs of the corporate world while maintaining spiritual health.

I’ve served in a variety of lay ministry positions over the past 30 years at a number of different churches and parachurch organizations. I’m also a graduate of the Denver Seminary Spiritual Direction Program and a member of the Evangelical Spiritual Directors Association (ESDA).

In addition to my Spiritual Direction practice, I also currently volunteer as a Prayer Deacon (and with various other ministries) at Bridgetown Church in Portland, OR.
