Pastor Daniel grew up in farm country outside of Decorah, Iowa, in the majestic driftless region of Northeast Iowa.  He earned his baccalaureate degree in Religion at Luther College and studied accounting at Northeast Iowa Community College.  Prior to becoming a pastor, he gained valuable and relevant experience in public relations and marketing, community engagement, administration, pastoral care, and leadership.

Pastor Daniel thoroughly enjoys exploring scripture and is particularly interested in topics related to missiology, pastoral care, Lutheran confessions, and preaching.  He is passionate about engaging challenging issues and difficult questions the church is facing in the 21st century.  He is an artist, musician, and poet, who enjoys table tennis, hiking, biking, fishing, Frisbee, and kayaking.  Pastor Daniel's family includes his wife Allie, and his daughter, Sylvie.
