My husband, Ken, teams up with me in the ministry as an audio visual professional. He has an extensive marketing and technical background in pro audio, broadcasting and the communications industries.

Ken's sensitivity to the needs of the worship team and the congregation help enhance the worship service.  Ken has installed sound systems, acoustic treatment and computer-based projection equipment in churches throughout Iowa. He also has a photography business which allows him to express his creative talents in a visual way.

Allison (age 7) and Mackenzie (age 6) provide the home entertainment as only raising young children can.  Their love for music and the Lord bring great joy to us as parents.

Balancing the ministry with "life" we have several hobbies and interests that get us outdoors.  We enjoy tent camping, hiking and 4-wheeling.  Of course, the tent camping is more enjoyable when it isn't raining. Or snowing. Or 30 degrees. Or when there are flocks of bugs big enough to carry off small pack animals.

We love to explore God's world. It becomes our neighborhood as we get acquainted with it.

Yes, that's me driving!
