How long have you been a member of Grace Fellowship?
Lori and I have belonged to Grace Fellowship since 2012 (almost 10 years)
What do you do as a career?
I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and partner with a regional CPA firm that I have been with for over 30 years.
Could you tell us about your family?
Lori and I have been married for 30 years and live in Brooklyn Park. We have twin 25 year old children, Max and Emma. Max is married and living in Champlin while Emma is completing graduate school in North Dakota.
Where do you serve at Grace Fellowship?
I help lead the Saturday morning Men’s Group and have been involved in Men’s Ministry since we started coming to Grace. We are also part of a life group and I help greet on Sunday mornings. In the past I have also been involved in other various ministries at Grace such as Refugee Life Ministry and Global Missions.
What are your passions?
God, Family, Friends and fishing. I especially enjoy combining all four at our cabin in Canada!
Why do you want to serve as an elected leader (Position) at Grace Fellowship?
I have seen God change lives through the people at Grace and believe we need to give back in service when we are called. I have been blessed to serve in many leadership opportunities and positions in the community and my occupation. I rarely seek these opportunities and often feel others are more qualified. However, when I say yes, I also see God equip me for the task.
Is there anything else you would like to share?
I have also been a member of the Rotary Club of Brooklyn Park for over 25 years and have served on several other non-profit boards.
