Even though he heard the gospel most of his life, it was not until attending a Christian camp the summer after his freshman year of high school that the gospel “clicked” in Dan’s heart and mind.
Shortly after his conversion, Dan felt a desire for pastoral ministry. After college, he and his wife moved to the Twin Cities where Dan could attend seminary. During his seminary and local church training, Dan was grounded in the gospel.
Through a mutual friend, he connected with Pastor Jeff and began to help with the church plant of Grace Community Bible Church. In the fall of 2012, Dan was called and ordained as an elder at Grace Community Bible Church.
Dan received a Master of Arts in Bible Exposition from Central Baptist Theological Seminary in 2008. He completed a Masters of Theology in Historical Theology from Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary and he is certified with the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.
Dan is also part of Equipping Leaders International where he educates and equips under-resourced pastors in the Majority World.
Dan has been married to Beth since 2004. They have been blessed with four children. In his spare time he enjoys mountain biking, downhill skiing, golfing, and Jeepin’ in Moab, Utah.
