I am so excited to join the team at the Northfield United Methodist Church. I thought I’d take a moment to share somethings about myself.
I grew up in Northfield and graduated in the class of 1999. I went to Hamilton College in upstate New York. While I was there, I studied abroad in Ghana for one semester. After college I participated in the Lutheran Volunteer Corps in Seattle, WA and worked in a homeless shelter. A few years later I started seminary In Berkeley California at the Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary. I met and married my wife, Stephanie, while in seminary. We spent a year and a half of my seminary time at Luther Seminary in St. Paul after our daughter, Miriel, was born in 2008. Two years later our son, Theodore, was born.
As a family we have lived in Northfield since 2010. Since then I have stayed home with my children and worked for two years in youth ministry. I love to spend time with my family, run, bike, swim, ski, hike, camp play hockey, baseball, soccer and basketball. I love movies, music, reading and many other activities.
I am very excited to get to know all all of you and be a part of this this church community.
