Information Technology

I grew up in a small town in northern Wisconsin, where hunting small game and building forts are common pastimes for young boys. The North Woods inspired an appreciation for wild places that continued into high school and college, where I began rock climbing and mountaineering. In 2004, I volunteered at a local youth group and continued to serve there until moving to Wyoming and joining SROM full-time staff in 2012.

I choose to serve at SROM because there is a pressing need today for Christ-followers to experience real transformation through the faith we profess. While we know God is in the business of salvation and sanctification, we don’t always see the depth of change we long for in our own lives and in the Church. In a world that is busier than ever, where technology constantly competes for our attention, it’s easy to be distracted from what truly matters. We need intentional spaces to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with God and each other. Stepping away from the familiar allows us to gain a perspective that everyday life often obscures. On this journey, we need mentors and community to challenge us, not just to know God’s Word, but to be shaped by it in a way that deeply impacts how we live. The wilderness provides a powerful setting for this transformation

Partnership

My greatest need is ongoing regular support. I need a team of consistent monthly supporters who empower me financially to serve at SROM. This is the money that pays my rent, buys my groceries, and pays my bills. Without this support, it is impossible to continue to serve at SROM full-time. While my team has been making ends meet since 2012 there is a big need for me to increase my support to something that is more sustainable. Please pray about joining my team as a monthly supporter.

One time gifts can also be a huge blessing and can help me save towards a home or a better vehicle. While they don’t help with developing a sustainable monthly budget, there is a need for me to be saving money towards important purchases.

Thank you for partnering in the work God as called us to at SROM.
