Wells of Joy Ministries 

Wells of Joy exists to glorify God in the service of the families of the Lunga Lunga slums in Nairobi, Kenya. Our primary means of service is to provide a Christ-centered, high-quality education for children aged infant to 8th grade. We aim to offer a safe environment where these children can be fed, educated, discipled, and given the tools to escape the perils of their surroundings. 

I have been a long time supporter of this ministry and have visited them multiple times. In 2019, I was asked to assume the role of Chairman of the Board for their US operation.  It is amazing to me how much can be done for so little. This ministry feeds and educates 300+ children for ~$30/child. 

At Wells of Joy, we seek to address the spiritual and educational needs of the community by using our facility as a church and a school.

Ministering to people who live in the slum is unlike any other ministry. Life in the slum is a daily struggle with utter poverty and its degrading and dehumanizing impact. Because the most basic needs for life are so scarce many parents struggle to provide for their families while sheltering them from the negative influences surrounding them.

We believe lives can be changed by offering hope, support, and encouragement through education.

HOW WE SERVE:
-Christian Education
-Two daily meals (during the week)
-Discipleship
-Hope for the future

Naomi's Village

At Naomi’s Village we believe that a lasting solution to the orphan crisis must come from within Kenya. Our vision is to raise our children to one day be part of the answer to the cries of their peers. In doing so we hope to raise the leaders of tomorrow, who will go and multiply the redemptive work of God in Kenya.

HERE'S MY BACKSTORY:
After surviving the Internet boom of the 90s, in 2000, I started WebDex Media Group, an Internet marketing consultancy, to help companies leverage the web to grow sales. 

In 2010, I sold WebDex to Splash Media. While there, I developed the tactical wheel, which has become a standard for training & implementing social media marketing.  

In 2012 I wrote Social Rules! which is available at bookstores today. (Ping me for a free ebook version). In the fall of 2020, I started writing Social Selling Rules! which will help sales teams maximize their online exposure and results for finding leads and moving prospects through the sales funnel.  

Now my focus is to take my 20+ years of experience and pour into companies, ensuring their B2B Digital marketing efforts are aligned with corporate objectives and optimized for results.

OpenMetal.io

OpenMetal is the world's first on-demand, OpenStack-powered private cloud platform. Deploy a production-ready, hyperconverged 3-node cluster in just 45 seconds. Many organizations need the flexibility and control of a private cloud, but lack the resources to build and maintain one themselves. OpenMetal makes it possible for organizations of all sizes to have access to a private cloud without the complexity and expense of building one themselves.

Our mission is to make private cloud + OpenStack accessible to everyone and offer an open source alternative to the expensive, inflexible, and impersonal mega cloud providers. We believe that open source is a fundamental good in the IT world as it creates collaboration across the globe, opens doors for people who want to change their future, and encourages successes to be built on other successes for a collective good.

In addition to the inherent problems of high costs from public clouds, we believe that the massive consolidation of infrastructure and software into a tiny set of public cloud providers is dangerous on numerous levels. A balancing force of clouds, operated by smaller companies, smaller governments, and even individuals, is critical to the long term health of IT.

Owner

I've held a unique variety of positions throughout the years. From starting my own music promotions company in high school to learning how to install decorative concrete, I've managed to do a little of everything. Over the past 15+ years I found my path in marketing and I take great pride in doing it the right way.

🖖My greatest loves: family (friends included), dogs, cheese, chocolate, yoga, tattoos, travel, video games, spooky things, theme parks, plants, and Oxford commas.

As for my everyday life, my husband and I + our two dogs are (former) nomads who roamed North America in our RV named Matt Foley. We've recently found a home in Massachusetts and it's been a joy exploring this completely new-to-us part of the country. I've worked remotely since 2016 and enjoy meeting other remote workers as well - feel free to connect with me if that's you!

Hail yourself! 🤘
