Our Team

Luke’s passion for helping others and over a decade of experience in human and personal development made joining DREAM4 in 2018 a natural fit.  He believes that “Life doesn’t get better by chance; it gets better by change,” and sometimes people just need help and encouragement to make the first step along the path to self-discovery.  Which is why purchasing the company in 2021 with David was such an easy decision — because DREAM4 changes lives for the better every day.  

After four years of coaching and training with DREAM4, in June 2021, David partnered with Luke to purchase the company. David was sixty. “Who buys a company at sixty?” David does. He believes in who we are, and he experiences, almost daily, the positive impact we have on people as team members and leaders.

Having moved around throughout his childhood, David has claimed Birmingham as his home. His degrees in communication arts: public relations and masters in education, as well as his work experience in retail management and training, human resources, leadership training and consulting have allowed him to develop his understanding and application of Human Skills.   

David is married with three children and two grandchildren. He enjoys cooking, playing golf, live concerts, the theater, and family time. He has had the privilege of performing four weddings for his participants. 

Susan has had thirty years of experience helping people move from where they are to where they want to be. She has a passion for teaching and has used that passion as a high school teacher and tutor. She has mentored college students and counseled adults and married couples. Living overseas for thirteen years broadened how she sees people and the world. She has a natural desire to connect with others and equip them to make the changes they desire. 

Susan has a Bachelor’s degree from Samford University in secondary education.  Her educational background gives her experience in how people learn and how to communicate in a way they can hear.   She is a Master Certified Life Coach through the Certified Life Coach Institute.  She has an understanding of ADHD, financial counseling, mental health challenges, spiritual matters, and marital/parenting issues. 

She is married to her husband David and has four adult children. She enjoys learning, kayaking, thrift shopping, and creating beautiful food and spaces.

Working in leadership for an international classical education organization for over ten years, Shae has led equipping events as both a coordinator and keynote speaker as well as built strong, unified teams of leaders. Shae received her Bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Troy University and has since worked toward her Master’s in Classical Studies. 

Shae has always enjoyed connecting with others. She believes giving space for others to feel heard is a cornerstone for relational health. It brings her joy to encourage others in their gifts and strengths. Shae loves collecting an information base of tools and resources - particularly in the areas of physical wellness, mental health, leadership skills, and spiritual growth.

Shae is married to Scott and they have four children. Shae loves going on walks with her two dogs, listening to podcasts, trying new and interesting restaurants, and preparing healthy and delicious food.

Janice brings a range of administrative, leadership, and marketing experience to her role as DREAM4’s Client Administrator. Her past work in a broad variety of organizations has provided opportunities to practice effective communication in diverse contexts, support executive leadership, and innovate better systems and processes for efficient business operations. 

The 11 years she homeschooled her two children represent her proudest achievement. This challenge and the accompanying personal development and training she received taught Janice more about how the whole person develops, and how to support their potential to flourish and connect to themselves, others, and the world in healthy ways. She is grateful to support the mission of DREAM4 as a continuation of this project.

Janice has a Bachelor’s degree in secondary education from the University of Georgia. She enjoys regular exercise, traveling, learning, singing, and deepening her relationships. She has been married to Jeff for 25 years.
