I was born and raised in the Twin Cities.  After graduating from Roseville High School in 1991, I attended the U of M, and received a Family Social Science degree.   I am married to my high school sweetheart, Tim, who sometimes plays in the band.  We have two young boys, Evan and Elliot, and two cats, Stanley and Oliver.

While I didn’t grow up in church, I’ve always felt intrigued by the faith held by the people around me.  I found it difficult to find a church in which questions were allowed, and encouraged.  A church that would unify, not divide.
