He served congregations as pastor in both large urban cities and in rural, small town parishes for over forty years before retiring. For many years he was a monthly contributor of articles to his church body's monthly magazine. He was associate editor for several of those years. He has served on the Board of Regents of his alma mater, Bethany Lutheran College and Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary in Mankato, MN. and later on his church body's Doctrine Committee. He has translated more than one thousand pages from Norwegian to English of theological material concerning his church body, the Evangelical Lutheran Synod.
He has long had an interest in the history of the Christian Church from its earliest time to the present.
He is a ten year survivor of colon cancer, a subject he discusses in his second section titled Depression.
He and his wife live in Canyon Lake, Texas. To see him in his living room chair is to see a man reading, sketching, scribbling notes which eventually may become prose or poetry of a spiritual nature. He often has to share his chair with his puppy.view less
