I began my work at First Lutheran Church in November 2021, having served churches in the Chicago area for my first 13 years of ministry. After graduating from Concordia University Wisconsin, I married my wife Kristan in 2003. We both moved to St. Louis where I attended Concordia Seminary before being placed in Chicago. I am excited about the opportunity to serve both the congregation and the El Cajon community. I love to help others see the beauty and grace of Jesus Christ as seen through the teachings of the Lutheran Church to give them the comfort and peace only Jesus can give. In my free time, I enjoy photography, researching Lutheran history, writing, and cooking.
