Baptized. Husband. Father. Pastor.
My wife, Sarah, and I live in Bremen, KS, and we have four children. I serve as Pastor for Bethlehem Lutheran Church and Immanuel Lutheran Church, both in Bremen, KS. I also teach 7th and 8th Grade Religion at Good Shepherd Lutheran School in Marysville, KS.
I studied Theological Languages and Theology at Concordia University Chicago, River Forest, IL (BA, 2007). I studied to be a pastor at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, IN (M. Div, 2012). I graduated with my Masters of Sacred Theology in Systematics (STM, 2020) from there as well.
I serve as the Dean of Theology for Higher Things, Inc.
