Personal statement

I was blessed by Lutheran educators in elementary school, aswas my wife. Our children wereblessedto attend Lutheran elementary and high schools. By serving as a regent of Con- cordia University Chicago, I hope to support the formation of the next generations of Lutheran educators, as well as the formation of Lutherans and Christians in all vocations. Lutheran educationfaces many challenges at this time, and so does higher education. Con- cordia University Chicago is at the intersection of these challenges. I believe my background in the church and in the areas of financial management and investing can help the university navigate these challenges.
