The Oard Huddle

Donna Oard

Donna gave her life to Christ at 18 and has walked with Him ever since, through the mission field, deep loss, and every ordinary Tuesday. She likes to say she walks with a limp: broken-hearted in places, but still walking, and that's what shapes how she coaches. She and her husband Marty have three grown kids (flown, grown, and lovingly not invited back), plus two grandkids in other states and more due soon, all of whom call her “Baddy.” By day, Donna is a professional executive coach, ICF certified, and currently working toward her Master Certified Coach credential. Her focus runs wide, leadership, relationships, team dynamics, and trauma-informed care, including work with veteran organizations. Alongside that, she's led groups at Believers Church and other churches over the years, with a special heart for single moms, having been one herself for 15 years.

Marty Oard

Marty spent over twenty years in the U.S. Coast Guard as a Naval engineer, serving aboard ships and leading teams before finishing his active-duty career as Executive Officer at the Coast Guard Yard. He's a graduate of the Coast Guard Academy, with two Masters degrees in engineering and an MBA. These days he leads Coast Guard programs for a national engineering firm, and the same instincts that make him a strong engineer, calm under pressure, structured, and steady, are what shape how he coaches. He and his wife Donna have three grown kids and grandkids who keep them busy, and he's led groups alongside her at church and stayed active in the men's ministry. Ask what he does with his free time these days and he'll tell you: mostly, managing Donna's entrepreneurial spirit.

Marty is a defense contractor, so his calendar and meeting links aren't public. Reach out and he'll find a time that works, by phone, a Teams link he sends you, a video link you send him, or in person.
