I am honored to be considered for nomination to the Board of Regents for Concordia University Chicago.

With 24 years of experience in higher

education at Concordia University Nebraska, I understand both the

challenges and opportunities facing Concordia institutions, including enrollment pressures, financial stewardship, and strengthening Lutheran identity. I seek to serve in any way possible that supports the Synod’s shared confession and mission. I have a deep passion for Lutheran education and am committed to working collaboratively with any ministry to advance faithful, innovative, and Christ-centered education.
