Facilitators
I am a father, preacher, teacher, pastor, transformation coach, and full time wonderer. My favorite responses I get in coaching and pastoring are: huh, I never thought about that before, that's a good question, a light bulb just lit up in my brain, eureka, wow, and amen. I believe the questions we carry around with us frame our reality and response to our world. Seeking small questions lead to small answers and asking big open questions lead to life changing answers. I love poetry, hope, and crescendos.
I am trained as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach®, have served as a campus minister, camp director, and for the past 23 years been the full time pastor of a rural church. I served 17 years as a firefighter seven of which I was the Fire Chief. I am ordained in the American Baptist Churches USA and received my Masters in Divinity degree from Andover Newton Theological School and have a BS in developmental psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I am a life coach, writer and spiritual seeker who finds God in nature, in deep conversations, in holy places and in the night sky. A practicing Unitarian Universalist, I believe in making peace in the world by making peace with ourselves. My work is rooted in the idea that each of us is born to live a meaningful life.
Trained as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach® (CPCC) by the Coaches Training Institute, I also have a M.Ed. in Counseling and worked in violence prevention and counseling before becoming a coach. I live in Western Massachusetts with my husband and three kids. I relish time that I can spend out in nature. Whether it's working in the garden, hiking in the Berkshire hills or spending the day at the ocean, I find myself coming back to center, able to reconnect with myself, to my sense of place in the world and the deeper universal connection of all things.
