The last fifty years has been a mixture of two careers as an art teacher and Episcopal priest. My wife Paula and I were blessed with four children and seven grandchildren. We were married for almost forty years. Paula died from pancreatic cancer in 2012. She was a beloved fifth grade teacher and church musician. I took a year of retirement after Paula's death and decided to move forward in life. I married Carol in 2014. Carol is blessed with two children and seven grandchildren. Carol worked for IBM for over thirty five years. She and I work together at St Peter's Episcopal church, a small church in the community of Kasson/Mantorville, MN. My ministry includes the basics of being a pastor at church. I serve the community by being a Doge County Sheriff's Chaplin and being part of the staff for the Dodge County Drug court. I enjoy many hobbies including collecting old toys, sports cards, playing tennis and being an active artist (enjoying the mediums of watercolor and pen and ink). I look forward to working into the next decade and maybe in the future to retirement.
