I have the privilege of being the Hope Kids Pastor for kids infants through Grade 5. I lead and shape groups and events for children birth to Grade 5. I get excited about partnering with parents as we seek to create environments where kids get to know Jesus as their Savior. Nothing motivates me more than sharing my love of Jesus with kids, parents, and volunteers. I received a Master’s degree in Children’s and Family Ministry from Bethel Seminary, and a degree in Elementary Education from the University of Northwestern. I’m married to Carl and we have three amazing daughters, Greta, Ellie, and Hannah, and a son-in-law Josh. When I’m not at Hope, you can usually find me lifting weights, running with Carl or one of my girls, hiking, or reading a book.
