I grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin where I attended Fox Valley Lutheran High School and met Aimee. (Yes, we started dating in 1991 when we were 14 and 15 years old!) Aimee went to the University of Wisconsin Lacrosse (BA in Psychology). I attended Martin Luther College and Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, graduating both with honors. Before graduation, we worked with congregations in urban and suburban Milwaukee, WI; Santa Maria, California; and Thornton, Colorado (vicar/intern).
After graduation I was assigned to start a church in Maple Valley, Washington (near Seattle). With God's guidance and direction Light of Life grew from 3 people to to a flourishing preschool and congregation. We came to Castle Rock in 2010 and have been excited to see how God has blessed our church and our community through his Word. Besides serving Eternal Rock, I have a chance to train and mentor new church planters through the Church Planter Network and also am a contributor for Time of Grace ministries.
I love spending time with my family, skiing, cycling, and cooking with Aimee (liking and being good at it are two different things!) We live in Castle Rock with the manliest of poodles named Jens and our three kids (adult through high school, Isabella, Paytra & Owen).
