I love that it feels like a small town community. I was raised in a small country town and I love that everyone here loves the Lord and reveals the Fruit of the Spirit in such a big way. We have loved being a part of this loving, kind community.

Five books, other than the Bible, that have impacted my faith or career.

• The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism by Tim Keller
• The Ragamuffin Bible by Brennan Manning
• Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
• Spiritual Warfare by Karl Payne
• The Café on the Edge of the World by John Strelecky

My family loves to Camp, bike, swim, and find new hidden places to fall in love with. Growing my knowledge about God and His word fuels me everyday. I love to keep my body in motion with pilates, play tennis and pickleball, shoot the basketball around with my family and spend time with the family and friends around me. I love watching my kids do their extracurricular activities and grow in what they love.

While I have adjusted to living in the city, I am a small town girl at heart. I come from a family of real cowboys and spent most of my life playing in the mud, barefoot, and rarely putting a brush through my hair. I’m still searching for this sort of grit and grace in the city.
