My Story

I grew up on a ranch, raising cattle and farming citrus in Myakka City, Florida. I still have cattle, sheep, and horses of my own and enjoy spending time outside with my livestock.  I graduated with a Bachelors degree in English Education and worked as an English teacher and youth pastor, and have been involved in various ministries. I have always enjoyed helping people to learn and grow, which made Life Coaching a natural fit for me. Before I even knew what coaching was about, I was incorporating coaching techniques into my teaching and ministry! Now, as a certified Life Coach, I’m doing what I love and what has always come naturally to me.

When I’m not busy coaching, farming, or spending time with family, I love to play the guitar, write, spend time in my garden, read a good book, ride my horse, kayak, or have what I call “heart conversations” with a friend while sipping on a cup of coffee.

I’m happily married to Michael who is a home inspector, and have a two- year old son--Nathan, who I believe is the cutest boy in the world.
