What do you like to do in your spare time? Carpentry: I enjoy spending time with home improvement projects, mostly deck building for friends and family. I have added building fences to my resume this past summer while building a fence for a friend. Cooking: Over the years I have expanded my skills in cooking and baking. One area of development is building on my Scandinavian heritage and continuing to refine my Lefse recipe. I have taught a few classes and keep adding to the list of my Swedish smorgasbord including rosettes, krumkake, rØmmegrØt and Swedish meatballs. Traveling to Disney Parks and Cruises: 2025 marked the 17^th Disney trip. I not only enjoy the parks, but I also appreciate the history of the company from its beginnings to now. I eventually want to tour the original studio in Burbank, CA and travel to the international parks, especially Paris and Tokyo.

Your favorite Bible verse and why:  “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9. My dad used to recite this verse to me often, especially when “venturing”out. I especially like it because it comes from my namesake.

 The best part about following Jesus is...I have assurance that I am protected. In times of adversity, I know that I only need to be still and know that He is God. It is in my nature to try to control situations. WithJesus I know that I need only to wait quietly and my battles will be fought for me. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14
