When I was six years old, my first-grade teacher asked me to draw a picture of what I wanted to be when I grew up. I drew a picture of myself as a pastor. I credit my dad for the beginnings of my interest in doing what I do. I grew up watching him serve congregations in Burlington, Iowa and Vassar, Michigan.
When I was a high school senior at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, I decided to formally pursue pastoral ministry. I enrolled the next year at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota to study biblical languages and theology. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 2014, I continued my studies at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. After marrying my wife Megan in 2016 and serving a year as a pastoral intern at Abiding Grace Lutheran in Covington, Georgia, I graduated with an MDiv degree in 2018.
After graduation, I served two years as a dormitory supervisor, instructor, and coach at Michigan Lutheran Seminary (my alma mater). I then served as pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church & School in Nicollet, Minnesota for five years, during which God gave Megan and me two sons, Silas and Levi. In July 2025, I began to serve as pastor of Rock of Ages Lutheran in the Kansas City Northland. I am excited to be a part of this community and bring the joy and hope of Jesus to its people!
When I get a bit of free time, I like to spend it outdoors as much as possible - hiking, biking, playing sports, and taking my kids to the playground. I love exploring Kansas City with Megan, especially the incredible food scene. Mostly, though, I love to connect with people and connect them to Jesus. Let me know how best to connect with you!
