Husband to Melea and father to daughters Annika, Elli and Adrienne, I have been blessed to serve as Pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church since 1992, where I focus on building community guided by Christ's unconditional love for all people. Graduating from Capital University in 1985 with degrees in computer science and psychology, I worked three years as a computer consultant at Battelle Memorial Institute before pursuing my Master of Divinity degree at Trinity Lutheran Seminary including an internship at Trinity Lutheran Church in Frankfurt, Germany.  I was ordained on June 7, 1992.
