I have been pastor of Plymouth UCC since 2004. In that time, I have found Plymouth to be a faithful, caring church that I am sure you will love as much as I do. We are informal, casual, and on a first-name basis. We are diverse in physical abilities, theology, professions, and interests, but united in the ever-abundant and unifying grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and his call to form communities of love. We are ecumenical, following the UCC's motto of "That they may all be one". Though we are informal in presence, our theology is solidly Biblical and our worship is guided by scripture. We are also a church with an amazing number of very good cooks - not to brag, but I believe we have the best cooks in the Wisconsin Conference! Plymouth UCC is a special, wondrous place of love and faithfulness that everyone should be blessed enough to experience. I know I am highly blessed to be part of this amazing community.
Outside of Plymouth UCC, I am active in a number of things. I sing with the Master Singers choir in Eau Claire, serve as Chair of the Wisconsin Conference Youth Ministry Team, and serve on the board of the Wisconsin Conference's United Church Camps, Inc.
I have a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Kettering University (it was GMI Engineering & Management Institute when I graduated, and had been known as General Motors Institute before then). After graduating GMI-EMI, I studied music theory and quantum mechanics at the University of Wisconsin, then moved to New York City to attend Union Theological Seminary. Prior to Plymouth, I served UCC churches in Manhattan, Scarsdale, and Honolulu, and a Congregational church in Brooklyn.
I am especially intrigued by the dialogue between science and religion, two fields which have been unfairly separated over the years. I also have a strong interest in worship and liturgy, and how we can bring our contemporary context into the liturgical life of the worshiping community while still maintaining the integrity and mystery of the ancient rites. When not doing theology (though really, one never stops), I love Star Trek, Star Wars, roleplaying games, science fiction and fantasy novels, and painting.
