I am the Chief Program Officer for KidZ at Heart. I have 4 adult sons who live in Texas, Colorado and California. Three are married to wonderful daughters-in-law and the other has a fantastic girlfriend. I also have one very fun grandson.

At the age of 17, I began to see God’s wonderful love for me and surrendered my heart and my life to him. For almost 20 years I served in children’s ministries with a few churches and learned much about serving volunteers whose hearts were set on sharing Jesus with children. I also traveled on a few mission trips and came away wanting to bring more lasting impact to the communities in other regions.

Being in children’s ministry, I attended conferences and had the opportunity to meet Gordon and Becki West. After attending a few conferences and a KidZtitute, in 2015, I joined the KidZ Community! I have served as a Trip Mobilizer, a Director of Mobilization, and a VP over Europe.

God speaks to me most clearly when I am in his creation, walking with him. It is the time I enjoy spending the most time with my Father.

What excites me most about what is happening in KidZ is seeing all of the new training networks being developed in many different regions around the world. Our KidZ Community is growing and we are so thankful.
