I grew up in Beaver City Nebraska. I was baptized Lutheran but was connected to the local Presbyterian Church. I attended Hastings College for my undergraduate studies and met my wonderful wife Erin in the band. I traveled to Iowa to complete my seminary studies at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary and taught as a graduate assistant at the University.
My first call was at the First Presbyterian church of Axtell. While there, I started an After School Program, improved a Summer Lunch Program, and created a Youth Sanctuary within the basement for kids of the community.
I have two amazing and active kids. Taelyn is a young firecracker ready to take on the world, and Wilson is trying to keep up with her. They are treasures and are full of personality.
My wife Erin is the K-12 music teacher of Axtell, so many nights you can find me at pep band or tuning a drum. When we have spare time, we love to play board games, cook, and find new adventures to do as a family. I am also an on-call chaplain at Good Samaritan Hospital. As the Director of Engagement, I look forward to connecting with you!
