I began my ministry in 1973 and arrived at Zion Lutheran Church and School in 1990. I currently teach 7th grade Religion and Confirmation Classes and lead Wednesday Morning Chapel Services.  I have been married to my wife, Linda, since 1969.  We have two sons and three grandsons. In addition to serving at Zion, I enjoy playing and coaching softball, playing the piano, and studying Texas History.

I began my 50 years of ministry by serving at Immanuel Lutheran Parish in Waterloo, Illinois from 1973 until 1990.  I served as Chairman of the Board of Directors for St. Clement’s Hospital in Illinois; Chairman of Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois; on the Board of Directors for Lutheran Social Services, and as Vice President of the Texas District-LCMS (2000-2012). I currently serve on the Board of Directors for both the Luther Center of North Texas and the Dallas Bach Society.  I have led over 25 work trips throughout Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Mexico for Lutheran disaster relief agencies.

In all I do I seek to impart the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I continue to pursue learning so that the needs of others may be served. I am always available to answer any questions our families may have about Christianity, Lutheranism, or specifically about Zion Lutheran Church.  I want our students to remember that I sought to lovingly hold Christ as Lord and Saviour before them and that He calls them to faith, love, and the service of others.
