Principal – Zion Lutheran School

I have had the pleasure of working in the office at Zion Lutheran School for 15 years. I have been married to my husband Ken for 40 years. We have 4 children (all attended Zion Lutheran School) and 7 grandchildren (number 8 is on the way). I enjoy interacting with the students at Zion and helping anyone that needs assistance. If you can’t find me, I’m usually outside in the garden.

I am the pastor at Zion Lutheran Church and School in Denver, CO. In 2006, I received my Bachelor’s degree from Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN, and I received my Master of Divinity degree from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI, in 2010. My wife, Michelle, and I have three children (who all attend Zion’s school). We have lived in Denver and served at Zion for the last 12 years, and we thoroughly enjoy raising our family here in such a beautiful area of the country.

It is my privilege to serve as a pastor-in-training at Zion Lutheran Church for the 2022-2023 school year. I teach 5th and 6th grade catechism and Word of God classes. I got married in July to Livia who is currently the preschool teacher at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran School. We will be returning to Mequon, WI in the summer to finish up my schooling for the full-time ministry.

I am the preschool teacher and director here at Zion Lutheran School. I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Martin Luther College in May of 2021. I was born and raised most of my life in a Wisconsin small town until I moved to Arizona when I was 12. Now I am happy to call Colorado my new home! In my free time, I enjoy camping, crocheting, and being with my two dogs.

I have been the kindergarten teacher at Zion Lutheran School in Denver, CO since 2011. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Education from Dr. Martin Luther College (now Martin Luther College) in 1984. I have taught PreK, Kindergarten, 1st & 2nd, 2nd & 3rd and 3rd-4th-5th grade classes. I am originally from Brillion, WI and enjoy hiking, reading and spending time with my family.

I serve as the 1^st and 2^nd grade teacher at Zion Lutheran in Denver, CO.  In 1998, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Education from Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN.  I am originally from Utica, NE and I enjoy hiking, cycling, camping and gardening in the beautiful outdoors of CO, as well as reading books and creating arts and crafts in my free time.

I am the 3rd-5th grade teacher at Zion Lutheran School in Denver, CO. In 2020, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Education from Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN. I am originally from Cincinnati, OH and enjoy longboarding, hiking, and creating art in my free time.

I am a Colorado native who graduated from Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN in 1983 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education.  Additionally, I have taken several post graduate courses over the years.  I have taught in 2 high schools and 2 grade schools, and I love helping my students grow in all aspects of their lives.   I enjoy gardening and camping in my free time.

Zion Lutheran School exists to assist parents in teaching their children about Jesus and the world He has given us and to provide opportunities to live for Him.

The best way for you to decide whether Zion is right for your child is to see our school in action. Tour our classrooms and meet our teachers, principal, pastor, and office staff.  We would love to connect with you!
