Shepherd Elder

Occupation:  Northeast Regional Director, Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce/Farmer

Hometown: Colby, WI

What year did you begin attending GBCC and what brought you here: 

Kenna and I began attending GBCC in 2015 after becoming involved in a campus ministry called Cru.  A few of the Cru leaders hosted a pancake breakfast on Sundays and then carpooled the whole group to GBCC.  It’s been our home church since then.

When did you accept Christ.  Briefly describe the circumstances:

I accepted Christ the summer between my junior and senior year of high school at a National Youth Gathering in Texas.  I had never been surrounded by so many people worshiping Jesus together and it caused me to truly consider what I believed.  Since then, the Holy Spirit has been convicting me and causing me to walk closer with Jesus.

What energizes you about serving as a Shepherd Elder:

I’m energized to see how God will choose to guide me in this role.

Free-time activities:    

I enjoy hanging out with friends, dreaming about possibilities on the farm, and cooking.
