Welcome to my website. There comes a time in life when all past experience merges: personal and professional paths cross, stories are connected and every hard-learned lesson has meaning and application. (Some people call this "mid-life.") Be it mid-life, it's a wonderful place and I'm happy to tread this stage of the journey. My experiences serve as a foundation for my vocation as speaker, educator, photographer, and author. I have finally housed these professions under one web roof. Welcome!

 

Everyone has a story. It's in the intersections of our stories where the spice of life is found. I am a dot-connector; joining people and their passions in near and far corners of the world. Some connections happen through my photography, others happen through experiential learning activities, and all happen through the process of investing time into relationships.
