I was born and raised with three brothers in Hortonville, Wisconsin. After graduating high school, I originally attended the University of Wisconsin – Madison. However, the summer after my freshman year, I worked at a Christian camp that would change my life forever. I came out of that summer believing that God was calling me to ministry and continued my education at Concordia University – St. Paul. It was also during that summer that I met my future wife, Danielle. Danielle and I were married in June of 2013, and the following summer we left for Hong Kong to serve as missionaries and English teachers. After 2 years in Asia, I accepted a call to serve as youth director in Sidney, Montana. In 2017 we welcomed our daughter, Elena, into the world. In March of 2020, Teddy joined our family. Danielle and I are excited to serve this community and look forward to the opportunities that God has before us.
