Flo grew up in Paso Robles, California, surrounded by oak groves, vineyards, and blue-bellied lizards whom she often befriended. In 1998, at age seventeen, she published her first article in Victoria Magazine about her love of Anne of Green Gables and promptly blew all the money on CDs before taking a detour as a musician.

In 2008, Flo, along with her husband and two small children, left the central coast California for the rolling hills of Tennessee where she continued her music career.

In 2011, Flo returned to college where she studied environmental science, fiction writing, and agrarian literature in between shuttling her children school, cooking dinner, and singing “You are my Sunshine” many dozens of times a day.

In 2012, in the midst of recording and releasing her own studio albums, Flo, along with singer-songwriters Katy Bowser, Sandra McCracken, and Ellie Holcomb, co-founded the kids’ folk-gospel band, “Rain for Roots”—they have released four studio albums.

In 2015, Flo graduated from Lipscomb University with honors, where she received a bachelor’s degree in Integrated Studies with concentrations in both Sustainability and English. Shortly after, she authored “Wild Wonder,” a faith-based VBS style creation care camp curriculum for churches. Flo has also written frequently for Nashville A Rocha , Art House America, and many other online publications focusing on children’s spirituality, conservation, and the arts.

In 2022, Flo’s first children’s book, “Little Prayers for Ordinary Days,” co-authored with Tish Harrison Warren and Katy Bowser Hutson, was published by IVP Kids.

Flo is an ordained deacon in the Anglican Free Communion International and the Diocese of the Emmaus Way and the current Children’s Pastor at St. Mary of Bethany Parish.

Flo lives on three beautiful acres with her two nerdy teenagers, two Newfoundland dogs, and gardener husband. She is the Director of Children’s Spiritual Formation at St. Mary of Bethany, a eucharistic community in Nashville, TN.
