Let's get to know

each other.

When we invest in relationship building, together, we can move mountains. 

About

My name is Jerry Sparby. I'm glad you found my little corner of the inter-webs because there's something I want to tell you: It is through relationships that we can heal as individuals and communities. And through relationships we can flourish!  

​

I know this to be true because I've seen it happen. I've seen it happen in classrooms during my 37-year career as a teacher and school principal. I've seen it happen in families and in the children I've mentored over the years. And I've seen entire neighborhoods heal and grow in my work as a nonprofit leader and community advocate.

Here's to flourishing!
