I am a native of the state of Maine (yes, my family are lobster fishermen!)but have lived in the Midwest since 1993, in Chicago, Dayton, and now Fishers. I am planting a church with my husband on behalf of the United Church of Christ since 2007. I love to spend time outdoors camping, hiking, gardening, and exploring the woods with my kids. I love Jane Austen, postmodernism, emergent Christianity, and the Green movement.
