I had the dream life, but God had other plans. God called me away from a successful career to be the Co-Founder of Against the Grain. AtG serves those who are often forgotten; those Jesus would call “the least of these”. As a nationally recognized sales leader, I learned how to build bridges and make connections with the heart of what people need. I now use this same ability to cut through the tough layer we use to protect ourselves and help people understand the root causes of their struggles and find freedom through Christ.

I did not grow up in the Church but I have learned to love as Jesus loves through a life of tough experiences. My husband of 30 years, has “always encouraged me to look at a person’s potential and not write them off based on appearances”. That advice has shaped the way I do ministry. I look past what we all can see and connect with the heart.
