“Having known Alysa for 20+ years, I can tell you that she is just like the person you meet in her writing . . . joyful, authentic, fun-loving, and your new best friend!”

—Ailie, Idaho

I love helping people settle in and realize they’re safe to be themselves. I take great delight in meeting new people and enjoy setting a relaxed tone so you can be who God made you to be.

I love new friends

I’m a terrible joke teller but have an easy laugh and want to find joy at every turn. Whether you’re in front of my camera or sitting in an audience, my main goal will be to bring smiles your way. Life is short, friends. Let’s laugh!

I love to laugh

Born in Northern Ontario, Canada, I love the rugged beauty of rock, woods, and water. Hiking in National Parks is among my favorite things to do and I swear I’ve caught glimpses of heaven on the trail.

I love the outdoors

I don’t need a big house or a fancy car. Just buy me a ticket to a new-to-me location and I’m delighted.

I’ve been globe-trotting since my 20s and lived in Indonesia for three years in the 90s, promptly falling in love with the people and culture of that land.

I love to travel

I’ve been married to Jack for almost 23 years and our favorite is adventuring together, whether that be in a remote village in Africa or a new street in Chicago. We have two amazing kids, both full of creativity and kindness; Madison (21) and Jackson (17).

I love my family

My faith is foundational to who I am, informing every part of my life. As someone who loves Jesus and wants to live a life that pleases him above all, I hope to be an encouragement to everyone I meet.

I love Jesus

Flowers are my jam and the wilder, the better. For as long as I can remember I’ve said that some day I’ll work in a bougie flower shop —for free— where I’ll create masterpieces with God’s creation.

I love flowers
