A Personal Note
Long before she stepped into publishing leadership, Krissy’s driving passion was, and remains, helping people see themselves as God does.
That conviction still shapes her work today. She believes God uniquely entrusts each person with a message, and when stewarded well, that message can shift culture, restore hope, and transform lives.
At home on Alabama’s Eastern Shore, Krissy treasures life with her husband and their two children. It is there, in the quiet rhythms of family life, that her deepest perspective is formed.
