After teaching high school math for two years, he entered Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. Ordained in 1971, he has served several congregations in Wisconsin; as executive director at Lutherdale Bible Camp; and as bishop of the South-Central Synod of Wisconsin. He and his wife Solveig currently serve as co-chairs of the synod refugee resettlement task team. Married in 1965, they have three adult children and four grandchildren.
