I have taught college Communication courses and worked in college campus ministry at both Catholic and public universities for most of my career. In 2003, I began directing Mount Tabor Center and founded SPIRITUS in 2009. I am passionate about giving young adults opportunities to evangelize and leading them into holiness. I have written several spiritual books for young adults. I live in Menasha with Katherine and our six kids.

I have worked as a youth minister in parishes in the Archdioceses of Indianapolis and Omaha. I enjoy working with youth of all ages and feel blessed to be part of Mount Tabor's rich history. I plan and direct retreats for youth and help with other programs hosted by Mount Tabor. Getting to know the teens and adult leaders that come to Mount Tabor is really fun for me. Watching young people experience the love of God on retreat is what it's all about!

After a few years at home with my children, I came to Mount Tabor Center in 2009 as the Volunteer & Hospitality Coordinator. Now, as an Administrative Assistant, I provide general staff support, work on some unique projects, and help recruit new SPIRITUS Team members. I thoroughly enjoy finding new ways to serve the ministry that takes place through Mount Tabor Center and SPIRITUS.

Through the years, I have worked within the Green Bay Diocese as school secretary, religious education secretary and parish secretary. Each role provided me the pleasure of working and being with all age groups. I have now been blest working at Mount Tabor Center experiencing another wonderful avenue of our faith. What a joy experiencing the SPIRITUS team sharing and bringing their love of our Lord, to the youth, of our Catholic faith.

I joined the Mount Tabor Center staff in August 2012. In my role as administrative assistant/database manager, I am given the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of people as well as work with numbers and data. It is a joy to work with everyone here and to see what a difference SPIRITUS makes in the lives of our youth.

In 2007 I retired from teaching. I have always been a "caretaker" with both my family and career. Working at Mount Tabor offers me the opportunity to connect and to serve with staff, volunteers, and guests.

I began as the Development Coordinator for Mount Tabor Center in October of 2009. I have been graced with knowing and working with all of the SPIRITUS teams. I am privileged to be able to share with our generous benefactors, foundations, and the surrounding communities the many inspiring ways SPIRITUS is igniting faith for thousands of you in a culturally relevant way, and how SPIRITUS team members are being formed as leaders for the Church.
