Pastor Dave grew up in Wausau. Dave is married to Kelly and is glad to say she’s his favorite person to hang out with and keeps him grounded. They have five kids and count it a deep joy to care for, wrestle with, dance with, coach, read with, and simply spend time with them as they all seek to walk with and toward Jesus together. He loves basketball and enjoys watching, playing, and coaching his boys.

Dave is currently the preaching pastor at South Cities Church, near Minneapolis. His great motivation in ministry is seeking to help people truly love God with all their hearts, love their neighbors as themselves, and see disciples made from all peoples near and far.

Dave and his family had attended the South Cities Church during his time in seminary, so he had a heart for the people there. He counts it an immense privilege and joy to get to study each week to know Jesus more and then make him known to South Cities Church.
