Born and raised on a cattle ranch in Montana, I’ve always had a love for the outdoors.  As a young boy, I had a speech problem that required 120 mile trips, one way, to a speech therapist.  Through God’s grace, I was healed.  I’m now able to use my voice for His glory as I preach weekly.

Upon graduating from high school, I attended Valley City State University in North Dakota.  Through that, I began sensing a call to ministry.  It wasn’t until teaching for a few years that I knew that I had to explore this call more.  I ended up returning the Valley City to work under a friend and mentor as an associate pastor.  It was through ministry that I met my wife.

Two countries, four states, one seminary degree and two amazing kids later, here we are.  After 13 years of marriage and nearly 20 years of teaching and ministry, we are finally getting into a groove!

If you’ve read my story this far.  Thanks.  I never ceased to be amazed how God can take a boy with a speech problem and use him to declare His grace every week.

Go in peace and serve the King!
