2003 Graduate of LTSP (now ULS).
I’ve served for 15 years as Pastor at Lutheran Church of the Reformation, West Long Branch, NJ 07753, and Vice Pastor of King of Kings Lutheran Church in Middletown NJ for 3 years.
My first call was to Living Waters Lutheran Church, Ringoes, NJ, overseeing the final stage of their time as a mission congregation and the building of their first unit.
I also serve as Executive Director of, and as an instructor for, Growing in Faith NJ – the diakonia program, a multiyear lay educational opportunity; as a facilitator for the NJ Synod’s Transforming White Privilege program. Previously, I served 2 terms on Synod Council, chaired the Synod Outreach Team, helped plan Assembly worship for 8 years, and served as a member of the Synod Ministry with LGBTQIA+ People Team, and as an ELCA Partner in Worship.
Prior to attending seminary I worked in and taught Heating and Air Conditioning, and performed around the area as a singer-songwriter for about a decade.
