I am a Confessional Lutheran pastor and a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. I was installed on March 6th, 2022, as the pastor at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Curtis, Nebraska. I am the first member of my family to have entered into the Office of the Holy Ministry.
I grew up in the faith at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Marion, Illinois, a congregation in the Southern Illinois District. I studied History and the Pre-Seminary program at Concordia University Nebraska, in Seward. After getting married to Michela, we moved to Fort Wayne and I began studying to become a pastor. I graduated in May of 2019.
My wife and I have three girls, Charissa, Chloe, and Millie. My wife is becoming known for sewing, embroidering, and various crafts. I am working on establishing an LCMSU chapter at my local college. My wife and I especially enjoy playing board games together.
