I am a proud native of Laramie, Wyoming, where I was born and raised. However, after graduating from high school, I felt a strong desire to explore other places and promptly moved away. I ended up attending Bible college in Northern Wisconsin, where I earned a degree in pastoral theology.

I have worked for publishing ministries for the past 30+ years, serving as their art director and doing graphic design. During that time, I always longed to move back to Laramie, but along with my wife, Tricia, we embarked on a journey through Wisconsin (10 yrs), North Carolina (8 yrs), and Illinois (13 yrs) before we finally moved back home in 2020. My connection to Wyoming fuels my passion to be used by God to make much of Him and spread His gospel throughout our town.

My wife and I have five children and four grandchildren, but don't let that fool you—we still have lots of energy in the tank. Some of the things that give us joy are spending time with people and hearing their stories about their spiritual journeys as well as spending quality time in the mountains enjoying all that God has given us in this part of the country.
