Fear is the big problem for most of us. It’s the reason we don’t reach out, it’s the reason we live life carefully and it’s the reason we have a lack of compassion in this world.{ 2 comments }

I used to think God was sitting in Heaven watching my every move waiting for me to screw up. Now I see Him as a Father who greets me each morning with His tender hand on my shoulder as He asks me if I’m ready for my day.
I used to think being a Follower of Christ meant putting on the right image, saving people and trying to be good. Now all three definitions actually make me sick to my stomach.
I used to practice religion and thought it was actually the goal. Now, that whole idea makes me laugh and cry at the same time. God wants a relationship with us not a religion. I’m pretty sure that’s the whole reason Jesus came to earth but most of us fail to live that way.
I used to think Serving God meant going to a building on Sunday, putting money in a plate (as if God needs my money) and modifying my behavior. Now I know that serving God is about serving others, taking risk and transforming my life not my behavior.
I used to be afraid of God. I feared He would catch me doing something wrong and I would be disqualified from his presence. Now I understand Christ took care of all that and God is actually on my side, all the time, especially when I don’t measure up to those around me.
I used to think.
Now I simply live or should I say live simply.{ 0 comments }
I wish I could remember, when the world feels like it’s going to swallow me that it won’t.
I wish I could remember, when everything feels dark that the light is just around the corner.
I wish I could remember that God’s in charge and that my true power is in submitting my will to Him not to systems, others or a religion.
I wish I could remember that people say stupid things and that I am one of those people.
I wish I could remember when the sun goes down on me that in 12 hours it will again rise.
I wish I could remember that crying actually will help and that I don’t need to hold back the tears.
As I sit here watching the sun reflect off the ocean, the waves crashing, and a new day beginning I remember that I can only see a fraction of what’s really going on around me. God, please don’t let me forget.{ 0 comments }

| After 23 years in the Television News Industry, and nine months on the campaign trail I understand the media and what it can and cannot accomplish. I understand how to tell a story while connecting and communicating with people. The media is much more than television, newspaper and radio. I will use my skills as a reporter/storyteller to help you create a message that will inform and connect people to your service, product and your business. Let me help you tell your story by creating a video for your business website. People want to know, not just the service you provide, they want to get to know the person behind the business. I can help you, through video, develop a relationship over the internet. |

| What every business needs is loyal, connected customers. Research shows the old way of reaching customers: television, radio and newspaper simply doesn't work like they used to. People spend more time on their computers and surfing the internet; so that's where you need to be and we can get you there. They call it "Social Marketing" we call good old fashioned customer relationships with a Twitter twist and we know how to use it and how to bring people to your website or business. |

| I ran for Oregon Secretary of State in 2008. I understand the ropes from both sides of a campaign. I’ve lived on the reporter side and the side of being reported on. It’s experience you can’t learn in college or purchase over the internet. It’s something you must experience and I can help. From social media concepts (Facebook/Twitter/etc) to mainstream media to fundraising, I know how to get you the attention you need to run your campaign. |

| I have 23 years experience in front of a camera and that can be a huge advantage for your company. I host industrial videos, some commercial work and can do voice over’s as well. I understand the task and work quickly and efficiently. I’m a communicator and know how to convey a sense of concern and caring for products or issues I believe in. |
 |
| Just because you have a voice doesn't mean you have a voice for voice over work. What you need is someone with experience who understands people and how to communicate a message to that audience. That's what I do best. If you'd like to hear a sample of my work, click here. |

| As a communicator there is nothing better than an audience to participate in the conversation. For many years I’ve spoken to rotary groups, churches, numerous schools on varied topics. Some would describe my talks as inspirational in nature. I find they are simply communicating a message to a target audience. |
