I am a coach, author, and speaker. Growing up in West Michigan, my childhood consisted of making music, playing sports, and making forts in the woods. Throughout my career, I have recorded albums, published books and articles, spoken nationally and internationally, taught in colleges and universities, and even led mountain expeditions. I have lived in Michigan, Seattle, Houston, Los Angeles, and now Chicagoland.
Through my diverse life and profession, a common thread has been my faith that has woven the values of love, humility, and justice into my life. Uncertainties abound in our tumultuous world. However, I believe we can be certain about how we love, how we grow, and what we contribute to the world. I love to inspire and empower others who are seeking this kind of change.
