I grew up in Howard’s Grove, WI. I am from a family of ten children, with half of us living in Wisconsin and the others in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Arizona.

 

I have traveled to the Holy Land, visited many of the Lutheran Reformation sites, and taken a Footsteps of Paul trip. I will be going to the Holy Land, Mount Sinai and Egypt later this year. I am a diehard fan of the Milwaukee Brewers and enjoy all Wisconsin sports teams. I also enjoy spending time with family, traveling, sports, and yard work.

 

I went to Lutheran Schools my whole life, with graduating from Concordia University Wisconsin in 2003, and Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, MO in 2007. Before coming to Our Redeemer, my first call was to Zion Lutheran Church, Bismarck, ND and St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Napoleon, ND with part of the call serving as chaplain at Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch, Bismarck, ND (2007 – 2015). My 2nd call was to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and Lebanon Lutheran School, Lebanon, WI (2015 – 2026).

 

As a pastor, I love getting to see God work in the lives of people. That includes seeing God work through His Word and Sacraments. It is enjoyable to work together with Lutheran education, making member visits; in members’ homes, at work, going to youth extracurricular events.

 

I am looking forward to beginning ministry at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with School. We get to work together to do the Lord’s work in Delavan and the surrounding area, telling people about their Savior, Jesus, who died and rose for them. I am looking forward to building relationships with everyone as we get to be stewards of the Gospel, learn and study God’s Word and receive the Sacraments together and care for each other. I invite you to stop by my office anytime.
