Collectively, Mike and Suzannah have lived in 11 different states. When asked, “Where are you from?” the answer is typically a paragraph rather than a single place. Having loved ones scattered across the country and multiple places we call home has shaped us in many ways, and requires us to cling to the truth that our hearts’ true home is with the Lord.

We spent our formative years on opposite sides of the country, and the Lord converged our paths in the middle at Covenant Seminary in St. Louis, MO. Mike graduated with Master’s Degrees in Divinity and Counseling in 2015, and Suzannah with a Master’s in Counseling in 2016. We married in 2017 and were blessed with Maggie in 2019!

In joining our lives together and drawing on our backgrounds, we hope to invite others into a space where they can not only feel at home, but also feel connected to the Lord and how he made him/her. One of the greatest gifts in both our lives has been the people God has placed in our paths to disciple us. Mike’s work starting and leading a growing company has given him the experience of creating an inviting environment that promotes flourishing. Suzannah has worked in many different sectors over the years, always seeking to find that thing she loves to do. Through discouragement and delight, the Lord taught her to cling to him, to find her identity in him, and to seek him in the process of discerning her vocation. Suzannah loves leading others through these waters and inviting them to know the Lord in the process. Together, we are looking forward to serving Serge Apprentices in Prague.

We enjoy good food, exploring new places, our dogs Pickles and Gary, Cardinals baseball, and laughing with our little family and others. Anything better than laughing well?!?
