Just about everything in life is like an elevator button - either bringing you up or taking you down.
I am a fixer by nature and disruptor by choice, with a strong passion for improving the status quo in any realm of life. Generally speaking, I love making things more effective, efficient, tailored/unique, accessible, functional, and beautiful.
In operational contexts, this shows up as streamlining processes, finding and solving complex problems, and clarifying missional objectives.
In any/every context, this shows up as building community by making room at the table and amplifying voices and points-of-view that historically have gone ignored by society and its institutions.
Originally I am from the DC area, where I graduated from TJHSST and GMU; currently I live outside of Salt Lake City, Utah with my spouse (Josh) and our two rescue pups (Jordy and Jackson).
My other special interests are varied and numerous, especially in the areas of music, science fiction, design, and making things.

Recovery Worship![]() I founded and currently lead Recovery Worship, an ecumenical, inter- and extra-denominational, safe, loving, and radically inclusive worship space-time. Prior to the pandemic, we gathered in Salt Lake City for dinner, worship, and community; currently we are gathering virtually across multiple states.
We've retained some liturgical structure and traditions, but continually work to strip man-made exclusivity and intersection oppressive influences as much as possible, leaving Divine grace, compassion, and justice given for all. Every individual is affirmed as inherently valuable to God, and our call to love God and love one another is kept a focal point. This is a church community for the oppressed, the recovering oppressor, and those who are inextricably both: our recovery. |
Weddings![]() I am ordained through American Marriage Ministries, a non-profit interfaith church. The basis of AMM is the belief that every consenting couple has the right to get married and also to choose who marries them, and I fully agree.
