I've lived in 7 different states, and 3 different countries. Having lived and worked in England for 13 years, my family and I returned to the United States in 2021. I'm a pastor in northern Iowa, I serve on the core leadership team for Audiofeed Festival, and I own and run Call & Response Records. I'm a huge music lover at heart. Metal, punk, hardcore, indie rock, free jazz, folk, classic country (and more) all have a place in my collection. I wrote a book on youth ministry called "Middle Space Youth Work" that is available in all major online bookstores.
