01 / HOW I WORK

Two halves of one brain.

Half of me is a creative director. The other half loves a clean spreadsheet. Most days they get along.

01 / STRATEGY

That's me.

When you need someone across the table who asks better questions and helps you decide what to do next.

  • Coaching
  • Consulting with MissionHive OS
  • Speaking and workshops

02 / COACHING + CONSULTING

Where I can actually help.

  1. AI in business

    Not the hype. What it can actually take off your plate this quarter. I run my own agency on it.

  2. Executive leadership

    Growing a team, a business, and yourself without burning down the house.

  3. Church leadership

    Staff, structure, and keeping the mission in front of the meetings.

  4. Church communications

    I ran communications at Hope Community Church. I know what the Saturday before Easter feels like.

  5. Communications leadership

    Building comms teams people want to stay on.

Real help for real things. If I can't help, I'll tell you who can.

ON STAGE.

Conferences, staff retreats, leadership teams.

05 / SPEAKING

Need someone on stage?

Conferences, staff retreats, leadership teams. I'll bring real stories, practical tools, and a plan you can start on this week.

03 / THE BOOK

MissionHive OS

Written with my friend Shawn Boyd.

An operating system for churches and mission-driven teams. It's about breaking down silos, getting everyone pointed the same direction, and keeping the mission at the center when things get busy.

04 / THE SHORT VERSION

Where I come from.

  1. Grew up in West Michigan, in a home where faith was the center of everything.

  2. Studied communications at Hillsdale and GVSU.

  3. Spent years in corporate, nonprofit, and church marketing. Including leading communications at Hope Community Church in Raleigh.

  4. Started Sonder in Southern California in 2019.

  5. Moved the whole thing to Raleigh. Still at it.

I help organizations who want to build kingdom instead of empires.

So what are you working on?

FAQ

People usually ask.

Do you only work with churches?

Mostly churches, nonprofits, and mission-driven businesses. If the mission is clear and our values line up, let's talk.

What's the difference between working with you and hiring Sonder?

Me: strategy, coaching, and speaking. Sonder: the team that does the daily work. Plenty of folks start with one and add the other.

How much does it cost?

Depends on the scope. Every engagement gets a clear quote up front. No surprises.

We're not very techy. Can you still help us with AI?

Yes. That's most of the room. We start with what you already do and make it faster.

Do you travel for speaking?

Yes. Based near Raleigh, NC.
