Her story

Kim spent her first career in public education, teaching band and mathematics before moving into adult education — where she found what she was actually built for: making difficult topics easier to understand.

She retired from public education in 2022 and became a certified trainer, speaker and coach, working with organizations and congregations to revitalize what people want from their working lives.

In 2014 her husband Paul died suddenly of a blood clot. Working her way back from that loss is what pushed her into personal development and, eventually, into sharing her zeal for life with everyone else.

Kim lives in Midlothian, Texas with her husband Don and their dogs Duchess and Cosmo. She has two grown sons, Trent and Cade, serves on the preaching team at Harvest Hill Church, and will take any excuse to drive somewhere new in Texas.
