Texas Roots // Florida OS

I’m a native Texan from "Big D" with deep Southern roots that are still lovingly planted, even if my daily view now involves a lot more saltwater. I’m a Florida transplant who lives for the "uncomplicated hardware" of life: sunshine, long hikes, and the kind of joy you can only find outdoors. Consider me a professional life-explorer, always listening, learning, and striving to take in every bit of data this world has to offer.

Digital Extrovert & Creative Architect

Professionally, I’m a Redesigned Educator. I don’t just teach; I collaborate with leaders and guide students to find their own "source code." I’m a published author, illustrator, and artist who thrives in the space between being a social introvert (the quiet creator) and a digital extrovert (the loud sharer). Whether I’m blogging or speaking, I’m obsessed with the "cultivation" phase—turning raw ideas into beautiful, finished reality.

Imparted Joy LLC

My dream officially "went live" with the publication of my first book, Liv’s Seashells. From that first spark, the momentum never stopped. I realized my lifelong journey to create wasn’t just for me—it was a blueprint. My vision now is to act as a Creative Guide, helping aspiring authors and artists navigate the "glitches" of self-publishing so they can share their own conceptualizations of hope and joy with the world.

My Co-Op Partners

When I’m offline, I’m powered by the best team in the game. I’m married to my best friend, Tim, and together we’ve raised an incredible son, Austin (shoutout to our daughter-in-love, Abbey!). Our rescue lab mix, Piper Lou, keeps us on our toes and reminds us to find joy in the simple things. My life is fueled by three essentials: Craft Brews, Family, and Jesus.
