Those were my go to answers whenever an adult asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Funny thing is, nobody ever thought to ask, “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” If asked you might respond with words like kind, selfless, helpful, successful, grateful … Over the years I’ve come to realize the real answer to that question: Exactly ‘who’ God uniquely designed me to be … that’s who I want to be.

The ‘what’ flows out of alignment with that ‘who’ design.

I’ve long written and performed songs about the ups and downs of this life and they always seem to point back to a common theme - finding meaning in life and purpose in pain.

I also began to see that while pain is inevitable, suffering seemed to be a choice.

After a few years of living in Nashville, TN and ‘chasing that neon rainbow’ dream of significance and influence in the country music industry I started to sense there was something else I was supposed to use my gifts for.

I spent my years in Nashville connecting with tourists by day as a backstage tour guide at the famed Ryman Auditorium and waitressing at a downtown barbecue restaurant by night. I told a lot of stories about a lot of legends and I heard a lot of stories from every day folks.

There, too, was a common theme - life isn’t easy, being human is hard, and staying human is harder.

Beyond telling my own story through my music, or telling the stories of the legends on backstage tours, my absolute favorite role is taking every day folks on tours of their very own stories .. .a tour guide of the soul, if you will.

As a certificated Spiritual Director and Coach I am here to walk with you, with God. It’s pretty cool really, in one sense I get to fulfill all three childhood dreams: a singer of truth, a teacher of spiritual things AND a doctor of the soul!
