My objective is to minister to postmodern families. I believe that children can be vibrant disciples, pressing into the depths of Christ, but their spiritual formation requires the family. I believe that postmodern parents are interested in being part of their children's spiritual journey as well as exploring the ancient richness of our faith infused with the vibrant spiritual reality of Pentecost.

Live Wired Coffeehouse LLC Operations Director
2005-2011
The local ministerial association approached the school to see what we could do to be more involved. Live Wired Coffeehouse is the fruition of those conversations. It is a place run by students ultimately for the community. My knowledge of the specialty coffee industry allowed us to put it together. I did the training and vision casting for this project.
