Youth Associate
I am a full-time seminary student at Sioux Falls Seminary/Luther House of Study. I hope graduate in 2011. For the 20 years, I was a third grade teacher in the Sioux Falls School District. My wife is Michele, and she is a first grade teacher at Cleveland Elementary. We were married at Holy Cross in 2000. We have 2 daughters: Grace Elizabeth who is 6 years old and Anna Rose who is 3 years old. When I am not studying, working or spending time with my family, I am running. I enjoy working with the staff and youth at Holy Cross as the Youth Ministry Associate.
