Summary

The cornerstone of my pastoral ministry has been catechesis. I lead by teaching. I have stayed current on Greek and Hebrew grammar and vocabulary in order to teach from the original languages of the Bible.

As the son of a Lutheran educator Lutheran education has always been important to me. I considere it a privilege to have served as mentor for CUEnet.

I am a hard worker with determination to achieve goals while at the same time a team player who can submit to community standards.
