Biography

I am a native Minnesotan and avid hockey fan. I also enjoy fishing in the summer. At the college I teach Old Testament and Biblical Interpretation, both of which are my passion. My wife loves to garden and landscape our yard. We have two teen-aged boys who keep us busy between the Science Museum and Christian Concerts.

 

Testimony

 

Growing up in the church and professing Christ early in my life, I became involved in our church ministries in my teen years. While working at church camp, my youth pastor recognized my gifts for ministry and love for people and identifed my call to ministry. After seminary, I planted a church with the C&MA in the Denver area before returning to Minnesota to pastor a redevelopment church. My heart's desire in ministry centered around teaching, and God opened the door to come to Crown College.

I am blessed to come to work each day and open the Word with students.
