Before Coming to CGLC: I taught Kindergarten and Art at a Lutheran Elementary School in Juneau, Alaska. It was there that God helped me see that He wasn't done with me yet. Let's just say that even though I had no plans of becoming a pastor, God had His own plans. And for that I am eternally thankful!

My Family: I am married to my loving wife Trudi. We have three precious daughters - Trinity, Skylar, and Sydona.  They have a four-legged friend named Husker (he's a yellow lab).

My Favorites: My favorite movie is the Matrix (no my daughter is not named after the character in the movie). My favorite book is The Giving Tree (remember I taught Kindergarten). My favorite food is steak and pizza (I might have to try a steak pizza). My favorite candy is Take 5 (it used to be peanut M&M's). My favorite color is red (that's Nebraska Husker red). My favorite animal is the Labrador (we have one). My favorite place is the mountains. My favorite sport is golf. My favorite hobby is painting (pictures, not houses).

When I'm In Heaven: I'm going to sit at Jesus' feet and listen forever.

Favorite Bible Verse: "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
