What do you do at Brooklife?

I serve as the Chairman of the Council of Elders; Chairman of the Building Board; Chairman of the Imagine Campaign; and as a House Group Leader with my wife Dawn.

What is your favorite thing about Brooklife?

The people.  I love that Brooklife cultivates a meaningful connection to our community - both in the church and out.  

Family?

I married my beautiful wife Dawn in 1991.  We have three children - Molly, Stephen and Timothy.  I grew up in Elm Grove and attended Elmbrook Church through my childhood and early adulthood.  Dawn grew up in Waterford and we met as students at UW-Whitewater.  

What do you do for fun?

As a family we love to go hiking, fishing and relax at a cottage up north.  We enjoy spending time with friends and family by our pool during the short Wisconsin summers.  I also enjoy playing golf, but I have a very complicated relationship with the game... 

What do you do for a living?

I work as a National Business Manager in the Packaging sales organization of Georgia-Pacific Corporation.
