I am the Interim Assistant Organist at St. Paul's. I share musical responsibilities with the director, assisting in the preparation and performance of music for Sunday services.

I have worked as an organist and music director in churches of various denominations for about 15 years. I earned a Bachelor of Music degree in 2011 from St. Olaf College and a Master of Music in 2014 from Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. I am currently in the final stages of the Doctor of Music degree from IU and expect to graduate in May of 2026. I have composed hymn-based music for choir and for organ, and a few of these arrangements are published by Augsburg Fortress.

I enjoy spending time with my wife Susan and my four kids, and my hobbies include cycling, camping, and fixing cars.
