Biography
Family first. I married my wife Heidi my last year of college. She is the most solid and integritous person I have ever met. I have a spunky daughter named Anja who seems to love worship as she plays pretty regularly on her fisher price keyboard. My son Magnus Anders Kristian was born June 9th, 2007. He's been a great addition as he's growing to be a beefy linebacker for the future-as his his name means "strong, courageous, follower of Christ." Now Church. I am student ministries pastor at an incredible church, River Valley Church, in the Minneapolis south metro area. I did not grow up as a follower of Christ but became one at 22. On a missions' trip to England playing soccer with a handful of students, I realized my love for investing in teenagers and shaping a generation. I also have a desire to mentor other young leaders as well and am determined to see callings fulfilled in others. I see faith as a journey of following Christ with a mandate for me to lead others into authentic "followership."
