Presenter Information

Amy V. Hoppock

Two parts of my life inform and inspire most of my writing. I'm a fifth-generation Idahoan who grew up in the shadows of the Sawtooths on the Camas Prairie. The gift of motherhood to my children Reid & Delana. My roots and the future are where I find inspiration and hope.

I'm a Spiritual Director in Training (I'll be certified in late 2022). It's something I was made to do.

 If you ever need a good book suggestion, I'm your gal. I read 80 plus books each year. I read everything from spiritual formation, World War II novels, murder mysteries, and books on trees.

P.S. I write a newsletter every Sunday evening. It's called Smaller & Deeper. What if smaller was the goal? What if deeper was the invitation?

Davin Carr-Chellman

My family is the most important part of who I am. Asher, Jules, and Aila are my three wonderful children (Davin and Jules pictured here), and Ali is my amazing wife of 24 years. 

I serve as Associate Professor of Education at the University of Dayton and am lucky to have found employment at two other equally remarkable universities along the way: Penn State and the University of Idaho.  My work as a faculty member, educator, and researcher is a labor of love. It is generative, life-giving work, primarily from the collaborative colleagues and students who help me. 

I am co-editor of Adult Learning, a research journal for anyone studying or practicing adult education, and am Chair-Elect of the Commission for Professors of Adult Education, a national organization of the American Association of Adult and Continuing Education. 

I have edited or co-written three books, the most recent of which is Step by Step: Living More Meaningfully, Joyfully, and Deeply Each Day, the second volume in the profound living series.  I love academic research  and writing, most of which explores human learning, potential, and flourishing. Regardless of the context, my personal and professional ambition is always to be useful.
