Share a moment with Michelle as she shares her heart with you. A wife of 19 years and a mother of two boys, she makes her home North Central Wisconsin in a unique home that was once a small country church. She and her husband moved in June of 2006 to serve on staff at Arrowhead Bible Camp and they raise their full salary through missions support.

Michelle blends solid biblical teaching, personal experience, and humor with messages that connect with the audience on every level. She inspires each listener to find hope even in the midst of disappointment, grief, or discouragement. She brings her fountain of creativity to every issue she addresses. Michelle has a Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership with a pastoral counseling emphasis from Crown College.


With a BS in Nursing, Michelle worked as a registered nurse until her children were born. Sensing God’s call to stay home with her boys, she pursued a part-time home business in craft and rubber stamp sales. Her past experiences have included painting and decorating homes as well as coordinating, decorating, and doing flowers for weddings, and teaching craft classes. She continues as an avid rubber stamping and scrap book enthusiast, and enjoys watercolor painting.

After editing and illustrating a book for another writer, Michelle realized her own call to write both word and song. Her gentle ballads and simple piano melodies appeal to a broad spectrum of listeners. She writes her songs from personal experience and God’s touch on her life, weaving her messages and her music together with her enthusiasm and passion for encouraging women.

She has ministered in music in her own church, and at women’s retreats and conferences. Her written articles have appeared in various places, including a statewide Christian newspaper and a national magazine for Christian writers, and Focus on the Family magazine. She has a chapter in the anthology for writers titled "Writing So Heaven Will Be Different" (2008).

Michelle’s rock solid faith and broad experience in Christian work give her strong credibility with a wide variety of audiences.
