I have had the privilege of serving as Lutheran Campus Pastor at the U of A since Fall 2001, coming from parish ministry in Denver CO. Some of the things I love especially about campus ministry is the freedom to be creative, to travel, to experiment with new ways of doing ministry, and to be a part of a student's college life experience.

My wife, and the love of my life, is Nancy. She works in 'development' at Habitat for Humanity-Tucson, and really loves the work they do. We have 2 daughters, Angela (Washington DC) and Jen (Chicago), who we love to get together with. No pets right now, but we have had cats and a dog until moving to the desert. (Now we have scorpions and tarantulas and javelinas.)

When not doing ministry my hobbies include: hiking (and swimming laps), music (guitar, piano, drums, trumpet), travel (England, Israel, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nepal, Panama, Costa Rica), playing ping-pong, and studying American History through the lives of the Presidents. Also, my current project is learning to speak Spanish.
