I am a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Following college I worked at Merrill Lynch as a Financial
Consultant.
As a seminarian at Concordia Theological Seminary I did my vicarage
at Bethany Lutheran Church in Kaukauna, Wisconsin serving under Pastor Walter Steinbach. While at Bethany Lutheran Church I
helped with the mission start located in Wrightstown. This mission outreach today is Alleluia, Lutheran Church.
I learned a lot from Pastor Steinbach and am grateful for my experiences.
In March of 2000 I was
called to be the Pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church in Almond, Wisconsin. I was blessed to have served such a loving
congregation who helped shape me to be the pastor I am today. (Almond is home to the annual 'Tater-Toot Festival' celebrated
each July).
In late 2007 I resigned from the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod (LCMS) and began the process
of colloquy to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). I attended Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin
for the 2007-2008 school year.
In August 2008 I received the call to serve as Pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran
Church & School where it is my pleasure to serve.
My wife Cheryl and I live in East
Moline, Illinois with our two dogs Amicus and Philos.
