I absolutely love developing the potential of humans. And I deeply believe leaders set the tone that others follow. I do this work because human beings matter to me. When I see individuals genuinely lean into their own growth, really trust the process, then see them and those in their sphere of influence thrive, my heart is full, and I’m energized to keep going.

My absolute favorite human being is my best friend, and spouse, Scott. He has been by my side for more than forty years, and we have labored and toiled hard and grown together. Our sons, their spouses, and, oh goodness, our grandsons are the light of my life and what inspires me to keep going.

Playing with our grandkids is the number one thing I enjoy. Though if you see me cooking with family and friends you will know my heart is full. I also love traveling to new places and learning all about their way of life, the food, the sounds, the smells, and they tilt of their head when they talk or laugh. What a joy! Walking in nature with my favorite human and our dogs is in the top five. Lastly, putzing around our yard with flowers and the waterfall rejuvenate me at the end of a day.
