About Me:
I grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. In my free time I like to hike, camp, backpack, fish, or pretty much anything that gets me outside. I also am an instrumentalist and enjoy performing with the Reformation Brass as we travel around to area churches. One of my favorite summer activities is to volunteer for a week at Camp Bird for Lutherans in Crivitz, WI.
Favorite Bible passage: John 14:2-3 “In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that you may also be where I am.”
