I grew up in Pelican Rapids and Little Falls, Minnesota. I studied Music Education at Mankato State and the University of Minnesota. I am currently working full-time teaching music at Dayton Elementary School. I am married to Jay and blessed with two daughters and their husbands and lots of extended family. My hobbies include biking, kayaking, pickleball and reading. I started working at Servant of Christ in 2008 and have been a part of the Servant of Christ family since 2005. I love connecting people to Christ, to each other and to the gift of music.
