I have been married to Dede since 1985. We have 4 wonderful children: Catherine - 23, Michael - 20, Josiah - 16, and Sarah Beth - 13. I was the college pastor at Grace Church in Edina, MN for 4 years and the senior pastor of the First Evangelical Free Church in Onalaska, WI for 17 years. I am currently writing a book ("Pastoring With Passion") and waiting on God for where to pastor next. I have a Doctor of Ministry, Master of Theology, and Master of Divinity degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
