Meet Dan & Becky

Picture

​Dan James has always connected with people and been able to build teams that accomplish goals. That natural leadership was submitted to the guidance and purposes of God at age 18. Growing in his Christian faith has further honed those natural skill sets and made him a more effective collaborator; discerning the skill sets of those around himself and helping them to grow into the purposes of God in their own lives has become his passion.  That passion has spanned his whole adult life, being expressed in his husbanding and fathering, service in the U.S. Army during Operations Desert Shield and Storm, pastoral ministry roles, managerial positions at a Fortune 500 company, global missions work, and now in Trim the Wick.

​Becky James is Dan’s high-school sweetheart, wife of 33 years, and mother to their 4 adult children. She owns Assured Aquatics LLC, a 10-year-old private swim instruction school that specializes in teaching differently-abled students of all ages. More introverted than her husband, Becky’s leadership often shows up in one-on-one situations, although she has also held pastoral ministry positions, managerial positions, and loves co-teaching in seminar and conference environments with Dan. Becky shares his passion for seeing people come to understand that they are created with inherent purpose and gifts, helping them to discover those gifts, and encouraging them to live them out in their families and workplaces.

​What does our name mean?

Taken from the Biblical passage in Matthew 25:7, our name refers to being wise and prepared, with all the soot and char of life’s experiences carefully trimmed away so that the lamps of our lives can effectively burn with purpose and beauty. In our personal, family, and workplace lives, we are designed to shine!
