Hometown - Grew up in Minneapolis, Austin, Okinawa, Austin, Duluth in that order

Schooling info - Duluth East HS, University of MN (education), Bethel Seminary (MDIV)

Interests - fishing, skiing (although it’s been a while), travel, swimming, cheering on the Vikings (sad, I know)

What is your favorite comfort food? Ritz crackers and a glass of water. (pathetic, I know)

If you had one super power what would that be? Toss up between the ability to be in two places at one time and the ability to control the weather in a hundred mile radius around me (specifically in Minnesota January through March).

What are you passionate about, what moves you? I get pumped when I hear the stories of God touched lives; when people tell me what “used to be” their lives, thoughts, and dreams but how the “used to be” has been changed and rearranged because of God’s grace and God’s wisdom. Those stories are God’s Kingdom expanding and His Spirit moving. I also like when the Vikings beat the Packers and the Bears.
