Although I was born in Oconomowoc, WI, I spent most of my early years in Houston, TX. My dad served as a pastor there for several years before we eventually moved back to the Midwest where I lived in Hudson, WI.
Being a pastor's kid came with a unique perspective into ministry, and I followed him into ministry! I studied at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN where I recieved my Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Languages, then at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary to recieve my Master of Divinity. In May of 2020, I was called to serve God's people here in Gibsonia at Bethany Lutheran Church!
I've been married to my incredible wife, Rachel, since 2017, and since then we've been blessed with three amazing children, Emma, Joel and Alice. You might recognize Rachel from somewhere else - she works as the Director of Lightbridge Academy just down the street!
