Raised in Bakersfield, California, Dyann graduated from Louisiana Tech University before joining the staff of CRU (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ).

Dyann is the proud mother of two sons, two bonus children, and four grandchildren. She was married to her wonderful husband, Rick, for thirty-one years. During Rick’s battle with Alzheimer’s, Dyann founded a support group for caregivers of loved ones with dementia-related diseases—a ministry she continues to lead with compassion and hope.
Now living on the beautiful Central Coast of California, Dyann enjoys time with her family, hiking, reading, and sharing her love of Jesus. She is the author of Today, Lord: Encountering Jesus in Ordinary Moments, Wisdom: Capturing the Power of Our Words, and several study guides, including What to Do When Your Life Falls Apart. Her writing has appeared in numerous Christian publications, including Just Between Us magazine, and she speaks regularly at women’s groups, churches, and for Stonecroft Ministries.
