Dijon & Paula Anderson

Educator & Licensed Therapist/Consultant

PACE Consulting, LLC & No Off-Season for Dads

Dijon and Paula have been married for 22 years and have two amazing boys (20 and 16).
Dijon and Paula met 25 years ago in church at a children’s ministry training. In two years, they dated, fell in love and became best friends. On September 20, 1997, they got married and have been riding together ever since.

Dijon is currently an educator at a charter school in Washington, D.C. and has been in the education system for over 10 years. Outside of the classroom, Dijon is a singer both at his church and on national stages! He is infamously known for his bass voice and has at times been called the “voice of God.” Dijon is an amazing father to his boys and has a blog and IG page titled, “NOS4Dads” (No Off-Season for Dads) where he frequently shares parenting advice for fathers.

Paula is a licensed therapist and CEO of PACE Consulting, a behavioral health counseling and consulting practice in Maryland. Paula, along with her colleagues also co-founded the Renew and Revitalize Marriage & Family Institute. Outside of work and conference planning, Paula enjoys traveling, spending time with her family & friends, and brunching! She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Business/Organizational Psychology.

While they are in a happy and committed marriage, Dijon and Paula have faced some challenging times. One challenge, in particular, lasted for almost two decades and challenged their bond at multiple stages in their marriage. The Andersons are looking forward to sharing their story of perseverance in marriage with the attendees of the Renew and Revitalize Marriage Conference.
