Born and raised in Portland Oregon, Heather has 4 brothers and 1 sister. She was raised in the LDS church and still attends with her husband and youngest son Cole, a senior in high school. Cole has 3 siblings. His older brother Porter is married to Amanda; they have 4-year-old Jack and one on the way. His older sister Emi married Izy Kongaika this past summer and his older sister Sam lives with her girlfriend, Taryn, in Idaho Falls. Heather's husband Jared works for the Department of Energy, and she teaches grades K-2 special education . We have lived all over the United States, and most recently in Okinawa Japan. We are firm believers that having a good relationship with your kids is more important than any situation that may arise, and we live by my mom's motto, "you can always come home".

Part of the Dialogue Journal, the Dialogue Podcast Network was founded by Eugene England, a Mormon writer, teacher and scholar. “My faith encourages my curiosity and awe,” Gene wrote in the very first issue of the journal. “It thrusts me out into relationship with all creation” and “encourages me to enter into dialogue.” My hope is that this podcast is an extension of his vision.
