My favorite thing about Bethel University:
I like the commitment to academic excellence, the professional staff, and the excellent team of faculty and staff to work with in this Christian environment.

My favorite thing about the Twin Cities and life:
I like to spend time with my wife and 3 children. I'm also actively involved with my church and serve as a human resources officer for the Navy Reserves. I conduct military funerals for deceased veterans and other activities that serve the veteran community. I also enjoy teaching as an adjunct professor for Western Iowa Tech Community College.

Before coming to Bethel:
I have 14 years experience working in higher education including community colleges, for-profit, and another private Christian college prior to coming to Bethel. I also have 17 years of military service in the Army, Army National Guard, Air Force Reserves, and Navy Reserves. I was recently awarded a direct commission from the Navy Reserves.
