I'm a Keynote Speaker by day. I speak at conferences and conventions and I deliver training sessions to help companies deliver the best possible customer experience.

Photography is my passion. Photography takes me to another place and I can get lost in my flow for hours at a time. I shoot tons of photos of my kids and I enjoy every single snap of my shutter.

Photography places me in the NOW and heals me. Jan Phillips, in her book, "God is at Eye Level," describes so eloquently what photography does for me.

"Photography heals 3 times."

"The first time is when I am in search of the image, present only to that which is, focused on the moment at hand. By virtue of this absorption in the now, I am released from the often painful grip of past and future. The second healing belongs to the person being photographed, the honored recipient of pure attention, healed by an artist's loving gaze. The third healing occurs when we view a photograph as an outside observer and are moved by its power or beauty. The chance to see the world through another's lens, to be transported to another time, another place, another reality, can heal and transform."
