Thank you for taking the time to visit my page!

About Me:

I love stories that reflect real life challenges, questions, lessons, and wins.

I’m an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Covenant Church, I have an MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and a degree in Biology. I like to write, read interesting books and articles, and drink coffee. I’ve worked in ministry for over 20 years, and I also have the joy of teaching middle school writing and literature - the BEST classes.

I’m passionate about navigating culture with biblical integrity and fostering ministry that crosses boundaries. I’m rooting for the Church, despite her many flaws, middle schoolers are my favorite people, and thanks to Jesus, I have great hope for tomorrow.

I have been blogging for years about issues related to faith and culture. In 2025 my first young adult novel was published: Water Stone. It’s a story of the strength, resiliency, and leadership of a girl named Alexandra. Filled with meaningful friendships and valuable lessons, this book is perfect for any young reader who loves a good story. The target audience is ages 10-16, but it is appropriate for all ages. My students tell me it’s really good and I believe them.

I’m currently working on book 2 and I’m so excited for you to find out where Alexandra and her friends are headed next!

Thanks for visiting. Jesus loves you, God is good, and coffee is joy.
