Highlight

Over my 30+ year career in non-profit organizations and education, I am thrilled to rejoin our Bethel Community as an Adjunct Instructor in the CAPS-GS Department (MBA). I graduated from seminary in 1993 and completed all of my BA, MA, and Ed.D. work here at our beloved Bethel University! Over the last 10 years, I have served as the Executive Director/Principal of three charters schools in the greater Twin Cities area and have taught at Bethel University since the fall of 2014, with a one year break for FY25. I am thrilled to rejoin the CAPS-GS (MBA) team once again. My wife and I have seven children and four grandchildren and love to travel to England and Florida where we plan to split our time in retirement, along with our family in MN.
