My life began at CTK in May of 2008. I have been a professional photographer by trade for over 30 years, and have always enjoyed working with people and have grown up in the Lutheran church. Pastor Dave Valen was right in saying CTK would be a great fit for me, and I enjoy working with the members and staff. I was born in Illinois but MN has been my home now for over 30 years. I am married to Patrick and mom to 2 wonderful grown children, David & Megan. I enjoy reading, movies, golf, walking, photography, nature, the MN Twins & Vikings, and being with family and friends.
