Donna’s passion is writing and teaching Bible studies. She is an award-winning, multi-published author. Her latest study on Joshua, “Strong and Courageous,” won the 2025 Christian Market Bible Study Book of the Year.  

After serving 30 years in corporate America’s legal field, Donna accepted early retirement in June 2021. She now devotes full-time to her writing, teaching, and speaking ministry through Artesian Ministries, a nonprofit ministry dedicated to Bible study. 

Donna works with the Lutheran Church in Eurasia to translate her LWML Bible studies into German, Russian, and Ukrainian. She has partnered with the Lutheran Braille Workers to produce eight of her LWML Bible studies in large print and braille. 

Donna is a sought-after speaker and travels the world to teach from Scripture. She regularly leads teaching tours through the Holy Land to walk where Jesus walked, through Germany and Scotland in the footsteps of the Reformers, and through Greece and Turkey in the footsteps of Paul. 

Donna is a member of Salem Lutheran Church in Tomball, Texas, where she serves as a Bible study teacher and an active LWML member. She is a lifelong Texan, adventurous traveler, and dabbling gardener, but home is always her favorite place to be.
