A Word From Coach
I have been very blessed in my lifetime, despite some serious health issues and many bumps along the way. As the Son of the "Iceman" Kent Meyer, "Watercolorist" Kay Meyer, and husband of Carrie Meyer there is no question that my life and recovery from Hashimotos Encephalaphathy despite having some significant challenges has been full of blessings and opportunities for unique ministry and connection.
Art has been an amazing avenue for personal therapy, growth, and opportunity for building an unique ministry. Matt Tommey and his team at Created to Thrive have helped me rebuild my life by focusing on God's IDEAL in my life. This includes reexamining my own Identity, really leaning into my Design as a Creative, Embracing Expansion and a #getBETTER mindset, Alignment that is in line with Scripture and works to build strong relationships with other people and organizations. Finally Love has been the center of all I do in GRAS Ministries. This IDEAL acronym has become a way of life.
So thankful for the opportunity to use a paint brush to enhance my own life and truly change the world eternally.
Milwaukee is My Home
