REV. KEVIN WIMBISH
MS, Co-Owner, Summit Wellness Centers, PLLC

Through many years of leadership experience in ministry, counseling, and business, I have learned the importance & power of humble, authentic, & empowering leadership. In my decades of following Jesus, I understand the importance of living with meaning and purpose, and having a bigger picture worldview. As a trained therapist, I see how what happens inside of us can send ripple effects into many parts of our lives. Through my understanding of human systems & business experience, I see the strength of empowering others in our organizations, and how that can inspire them to fully engage, which sends powerful and positive reverberations through a company. I love helping business & ministry leaders who want to make a lasting & positive difference through how they lead, and create positive outcomes for their organizations.
