[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I enjoy helping others. I get joy and fulfillment seeing the faces on those whose burdens are lifted by the help of others.

2. I love being part of a team. Iron sharpens iron. It is important to be part of a team of men that love God and teach truth through Jesus Christ.

3. I love my family. It brings joy to my life when I see my 3 kids grow up knowing that Jesus is their Savior.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I have been volunteering with the Children’s ministry (3-5 year olds) for the past 4 years. But I really love hanging out with the men’s group.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

Crosspoint is experiencing a hardship that is going to require faith to lead them through this tough time. I have faith that God is in control and will lead the pastors and elders through this tough time. I believe there needs to be changes in processes and procedures to prevent these issues and problems from happening again.

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I put my faith in Jesus as my personal savior at an early age. I was about 5-6 years old and was attending a 5 day club in my neighborhood when I prayed to ask Jesus into my heart. I grew up in a Christian home with disciplined Christian parents. Just like everyone, I am not perfect, but Jesus has given me strength to get through life’s trials and tribulations.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

I have served as a group leader in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in college at the University of Wiscosin-Whitewater (2008).

I have served as a children’s Sunday School helper for the past 4 years at Crosspoint Community Church in Oconomowoc, WI.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Loving Family, I’m child #5 of 8 children

Marriage to my wife, Krystin

Birth of my 3 children, Cole, Brooke and Aubree

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

I was involved in an auto accident where my car struck 2 bicyclists and one of the bicyclist died.

My sister’s boyfriend and my friend died in a snowmobile accident.
