The ELCA experiences listed above are not accomplishment, but blessings I have received to serve and to learn a great deal about each of the 3 expressions of the ELCA.

Bishop Hutterer has a vision to create an environment where the Synod is viewed as a resource and partner for congregations. I share this vision.

Our congregations will be facing difficult challenges in the near future. For our congregations to not only survive but to flourish, we need to work together, congregations and the synod, to accomplish what God is calling all of us to do.

Through God's grace, I have been given a unique set of experiences that have prepared me to help lead this synod into a vital and exciting future.

I humbly ask for your support to serve you as the next Vice President of the Grand Canyon Synod.

Thank you.
