I am honored to be considered for membership on the Board of National Mission and the Board of Regents of Concordia University Wisconsin. Ihave served several terms as congregational president of Peace Lutheran Church (McMurray, Pa.) and as an elected board member of Concordia Lutheran Ministries, including roles as vice-chairman and chair of the finance and budget committees. With an MBA and 40 years in financial planning, I now desire, in retirement, to devote my time and experience to serving God and His church through faithful governance and stewardship.
