and family
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am blessed to serve you as Pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you in the coming years. I wanted to take a moment to share a little about myself and my family.
I am a Maryland native from a family of six boys. Prior to Seminary, I studied nursing and worked as a Registered Nurse in an emergency department and later in a psychiatric hospital. While working as a nurse, I met and began dating Meghan, a Director of Christian Education Intern at my parents’ congregation in Eldersburg, Maryland. Meghan is originally from Cleveland, Ohio. She comes from a family of Lutheran Educators and attended Concordia University, Chicago, where she double majored in Elementary Education and Christian Education (DCE). In 2017, I was accepted into Concordia Seminary’s Master of Divinity Program and asked Megs to marry me.
During the summer of 2018, we were married and moved to St. Louis, Missouri where I began my Seminary training. A few months after our arrival, we learned that Judah would be joining our lives in the Spring of 2019. After two years of Seminary, we moved to Clio Michigan for my Vicarage – a Seminary Internship that takes place during a student’s third year of training. During our time in Clio, we welcomed Elias (2021) into our family. Following our year in Michigan, we spent four months in Oberursel, Germany where I participated in Concordia’s International Exchange Program. We returned to the United States in December of 2021. Classes resumed at Concordia Seminary in January for my final year of pastoral training.
During the Spring of this final year, we learned that Hope would be joining us in the new ministry God would send us to, following graduation. In November of 2022, we received official word of my call to be Pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Gladwin, Michigan.
We are so excited to be here with you in Gladwin, serving in this outpost of God’s Kingdom. We look forward to sharing more of our story and are excited to hear yours. It is our prayer that we are a blessing to each of you here and that God uses our gifts and talents for His glory.
Because Christ is risen from the dead, the best is yet to come!
