I am the associate pastor at All Saints Lutheran Church in Cottage Grove, MN (central time). I was a high school math teacher for 5 years prior to accepting my first call, and that led to a lot of discernment between being a pastor and a deacon. I have a heart and a passion for camping ministry (I teach the Red Cross lifeguarding class for 9 different camps across MN and WI to help equip them during staff training), and I love working with youth of all ages.
