We are all on a growth journey.
Every single day we are learning something new about ourselves and the world around us. Working with my own coach is part of my own growth journey.

My personal mission is to value the relationships I have with family and loved ones, to contribute to the betterment of my community and to strive for continuous self-improvement.
I read A LOT, mostly fiction. I also get outside among the trees or on the river as much as I can; hiking or paddle boarding. My regular yoga and meditation practice keep me grounded.
