Books from Concordia Publishing House have been a staple in my life since childhood, and that tradition continues with my grandchildren today. As a seasoned self-employed writer and editor, I’ve worked with many national clients and publications through the years, and I welcome the opportunity to bring that experience to serve on the CPH board. In these challenging times, the legacy we as a church leave for our descendants is vital. In its mission to produce faithful, doctrinally sound resources for the LCMS, CPH is an integral part of that legacy, and I would be honored to serve in this ongoing work.
