My hope is that this business does the same and enables others to bring life to those around them.

Provide customized solutions for philanthropists, nonprofits, and businesses to build healthy, life-giving organizations.

Empowering organizations to fulfill their mission in ways that are holistic and life-giving for themselves and their community.

  • No one was made to operate alone or in duplicity - we are stronger when our strengths and experience complement one another.

  • Imagine new ways things could be done, how things could be better, value knowledge, and never stop learning.

  • Everyone has their own gifts and limitations, and this is good since it drives us to work together. We cannot solve all the world’s problems, but we must do our small part.

  • Solutions should be based on academically-sound research when available, rather than what is most popular or conventional.

  • Take time to reflect on the good - your accomplishments, your unique role, and the accomplishments of others. Celebrate, and allow for rest.
