“Hope to me is the expectation or desire of wanting something to happen or be. For families and children, it is envisioning where they would like their relationship to be now and in the future. I enjoy getting to work with the kids, and their families, on their path towards hope and healing.”

“I feel being outside and allowing the kids to feel a sense of exploration really helps their minds from feeling trapped and controlled. Fishing is by far my favorite activity to participate in. But not just any fishing, ice fishing. There is just something about watching a tip-up flag go up and running towards the hole. The mystery of what is on the end of the line keeps me entertained all winter.”
