Author. Speaker. Pastor. Coach.

I’m Dave: an author, speaker, pastor, and coach. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been endlessly curious about life and the whole mystery of it. My speaking and writing is how I explore my questions and make sense of the world. The fact that I get to share my discoveries with others is even better. 

Through my journey, I’ve discovered much about myself, the spiritual life, and how to live in a way that produces joy and vibrancy. It hasn’t always been easy, but that’s how we grow. My hope in sharing what I’ve learned is that wherever you find yourself, you’ll come to find more peace, joy, and purpose.

Coaching

For fifteen years, I’ve been writing and giving sermons. Learning to develop this art has been a joy and I keep discovering new ways of crafting messages and communicating ideas. If you find yourself stuck somewhere in this process – wondering where to start, what to talk about, how to put a message together, or how to communicate it effectively – I’d love to help.

Whether individually or with a group, I want to help draw out the wisdom you carry within so you can offer the best of yourself to the people and groups you speak to.

In 2022, I decided to release a weekly newsletter, called The Dispatch. The name and idea came from Austin Kleon’s book, Steal Like an Artist. In his book, he suggests sending out a daily dispatch. It’s a way to show others what you’re working on, and what new ideas and insights you’ve uncovered that day. 

Sending out a regular dispatch feels like a natural way to pass along all the endless ideas I find bouncing around in my head. Sign up today to stay updated with my work and all that’s inspiring me to keep creating more.
