One-Line Bio

The lead pastor of The Crossing church in Elk River, Minnesota.

Biography

I'm a former youth pastor who is passionate about helping people take the next step in their relationship with God. I have a B.A. in History and Bible, and an M.A. in Biblical Studies.

I am crazy in love with my wife of almost 15 years (Kelly) and am a giant fan of my three kids, Braden the coolest 12-year old in the world, Holland, the 9-year old artist, and Aidan, the 7-year-old John Deere fanatic.

Anyone who knows me knows I love fishing, specifically bass fishing. Cabela's is the only store in the world that I enjoy. When the lakes are frozen, I love to sit and watch movies, especially ones where stuff blows up.
