What does the Greenhouse process mean to you, and how are you a part of Greenhouse?
Well, I created the process or better yet the process is creating me. I want to build safe, nurturing environments where people can grow in their stories and gifts and be rooted in who they are in Christ in the context of community. I want to create places and spaces where mission and art can flourish.
What do you love to create?
Almost all my creations come from a desire for someone else. I love to create environments that help people grow, compose resources that help people pray and dream, and craft prints that tell a story. I love creating things that serve as an entryway into a story — theirs and God's.
What are some fun facts about you?
I have yet to meet a bookstore that I don’t like. I love coffee, college football, and front porch conversations. I have never seen an episode of “The Office.”

If you were a flower or a tree in a Greenhouse what would you be and why?
I would be an almond tree. The almond tree is breathtakingly beautiful with lovely blooms that produce the fruit of almonds. The tree has beautiful symbolic meaning in Scripture — it is the first tree to bloom and is known as the resurrection tree, a prophetic tree that watches for the other trees in nature to bloom.
