Owner and CEO of Mustard Seed Adoption Consultants

Jessica,CEO

When she's not sitting impatiently in the Chick-fil-A drive thru, she's homeschooling, chasing babies or folding laundry! She will occasionally try to make her hair look good, but it has to be a worthy event! Otherwise, she's spraying dry-shampoo and running on coffee! Adoption education is her heart cry; growing families is just an added bonus! She is a professional prank artist, has never gotten a speeding ticket, and is never sarcastic! When asked what is the best part of her job, she replied, "my job? I forget that it's technically called that. Kingdom work is never a job; its just the merging place of my calling in this life and an enjoyable hobby."

Favorite Coffee Order: "cowgirl coffee, black with sugar!"
Favorite Hobby: her other business, Seeded Florals a la Cart
Enneagram: 7
Favorite Bible Verse: "Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace." -Romans 6:13-14 

David, CFO

Lover of Christian rap, David loves riding with the windows down and the music turned way up! As a member of the US Military, David serves an active duty job during the daytime hours, and wears his Chief Financial Officer cape at night (after helping his wife, Jessica, our CEO, fold laundry, of course)! He works for the Weapons of Mass Destruction with the US Army and while that is a very serious job that takes a lot of dedication and allegiance, he is an amazing father and husband! He is in flight school to complete his Private Pilots License, is an incredible wakeboarder, enjoys fishing in whatever spare time he can find, and always needs extra space in the church pew in case he feels the Spirit movin'! He is the sole reason Jessica and their two kiddos are ever anywhere on time, and it takes a lot to frustrate him. When asked what his favorite part of the day is, he claims, "coming home to 3 smiling faces and 3 kisses. The excitement shown to me when I get home is definitely my favorite."
