​
I am a retired Sexual Assault Police Officer with specialized forensic expertise in Child Abuse. I currently serve as the Pastoral Care Minster at Messiah Lutheran Church in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, and am completing my Masters of Divinity at Luther Seminary. I am endorsed for ordination in Word and Sacrament within the Evangelical Lutheran of America (ELCA).
Drawing on my experience in child abuse forensic investigations, along with offender safety planning and child protection, I bring professional expertise and theological reflection into service for the church.
​​
I am deeply committed to ensuring churches are sanctuaries of safety and healing for those impacted by gender-based violence. This reflects the church’s distinct responsibility to embody Christ’s call to protect, care for, and uphold the dignity of all people.
