Objective
I have recently retired after 47 years of pastoral ministry. I’ve served at 5 different churches over the years. My previous employment at Hope Lutheran Church in Fargo, ND was a multi-campus ministry opportunity from 2003 to 2024. This was a new challenge in my career, and a welcome one. After my successes as a minister, I’m looking to remain in the workforce to continue offering my services and skills.
