What began as an adventurous college term paper blossomed into an extraordinary forty-three-year career. As I transition into the next chapter of my life, I am inspired to share some of the highlights of my journey, along with the faith-building struggles I encountered along the way—all while living life, one scoop at a time. In my book, I explore how one can find peace amid life’s storms by placing faith and trust in God. I desire this book to bring enjoyment, laughter, and hope during difficult times, encouraging my readers to look up rather than inward for a peace that surpasses all understanding.
