About ME

49C43E7C-3657-45A0-8207-F98E14A460F5
I am a growing

son, brother, nephew, cousin, friend, husband, brother-in-law, father, uncle, father-in-law, neighbor, coworker, and classmate who is thankful for your gracious love and support.

I am an eager

learner, student, and disciple on a path toward peace and generative, holistic care for one another.

I am enthusiastic about

teaching and cheerleading for us all to take up the way of love, care, and peace for ourselves and for our lives together.

You name the place:

schools, conferences, libraries, assemblies, camps, churches, family events, residencies. I am happy to work with any and all ages when our topic is working together!

Mike's life experiences have grown into a passionate vision for strengthening our ability to work together. He shares stories and music inside and outside his community of faith grounded in a vision of teamwork and life together. His fire department background instilled a passion for working together, peace work, and conflict response. He aspires to ignite that hope in others as he shares the stories that ground his hope! As an elder in the United Methodist Church, he currently serves a local congregation in Emmitsburg, Maryland and is an active member with the local Ecumenical Council of Churches.
