I am… 

--a retired senior military leader

--former congressional staffer

--a writer

​

--a speaker

​

--a coach and mentor

--a lover of art

--an intermittent athlete

--someone who is not afraid to break it down on the sidewalk if ‘Yoncé drops a beat

​​

--and…a person who spent years trying to be “all the things” I thought I needed to be, personally and professionally, in two high-speed careers.

​

I am all of that…rumbling with my own vulnerability, learning more about what makes me tick, uncovering things that are messy and discovering things in that mess that are truly amazing….embracing all that I am.  Working to show up authentically in all I do.

​

I started chronicling my life experiences a several years ago, sharing my stories with my small community.  I now realize that my stories, my lessons learned, may help others.

So I am sharing them with you.
