I was raised in the church by a loving and supportive family. I saw the benefit of Salvation in Christ, but no reason to continue going to church once I did receive it. Afterwards, I pursued the American Dream to build my name and ensure my retirement. The problem was, pursuing this plan exhausted me and made me totally miserable by the time I was 24. When I was at my lowest and out of options, a friend encouraged me towards Music of Life Church Kimberly!
At MOLC I experienced Refuge: a safe place to share, be known and accepted for who I was. When I was ready to pick up the pieces of my life, I entered Restoration. This changed my life. I learned who I was made to be, who God is and how to bear my own burdens! For the first time, I experienced the true power of Jesus’s Death, Burial and Resurrection in MY life. I knew I had found something truly special. Since Restoration, I’ve been growing in my unique way of serving the Body of Christ and experiencing excess energy and fulfillment.
I am excited to care for God’s flock at Music of Life Church Kimberly and continue to grow our unique purpose that God has given us! I invite you to come and experience the Refuge, Restoration and Repair in your own life!

I didn’t grow up in church. It wasn’t something my family was against, it just wasn’t part of our lives or conversations. Even as a kid, I often felt there had to be more to life than just existing. I often found myself pondering thoughts like, Why are things the way they are? What’s the purpose of being here? Surely there has to be a reason for all of this.
In my teenage years, I tried to seek happiness and to feel valued in all the wrong places. Those choices only numbed the pain I carried from my childhood. Around the age of 20, I met my husband, Ryan, who is now an Associate Pastor at Music of Life Church Kimberly. I thought marriage and starting a family would finally bring me the happiness I was searching for, but the pain and emptiness remained.
While living in Michigan, we started attending a Baptist church, and that’s where I began to explore faith for the first time. Later, after moving to Wisconsin and having our first daughter, my marriage started to unravel. It was in the middle of that painful season that I finally surrendered my life to God.
Surrendering was just the beginning. Healing took time. When Ryan and I were connected with Music of Life Church Kimberly, we entered the Restoration program. That process completely transformed our lives, individually, as a couple, and as parents to our two amazing girls (Layla & Rosalie). Today, we serve together as leaders at Music of Life Church Kimberly with a passion to help others experience their own healing and transformation. We want people to know the truth of God’s Word, who He is, and embrace the unique purpose He has created for each of them.
In the years that followed, God began stirring something deeper in me. In 2023, I heard a calling to become a pastor. At first, I resisted, unsure and even afraid of what that would mean. But after a season of wrestling with it, I finally surrendered to that call. In 2024, I stepped into training, and in June 2025, I was humbled and honored to step into the role of Associate Pastor.
It is my joy to serve at Music of Life Church Kimberly, caring for the people God brings our way and helping to facilitate the mission He has entrusted to us: Refuge, Restoration, and Repair.

Throughout my childhood, I was aware of God's existence, however, I didn't know how to have a relationship with Him. Therefore, I chose to live my life according to my own plan for happiness. When I was in my mid 20's, I felt that God told me He wanted me to be a Pastor, but it wasn't until my mid 30's when my plan for how to live my life finally broke and I fully surrendered to Him.
I am honored to be named an Associate Pastor of Music of Life Church Kimberly! I believe God, that I now know is Right and Just in His Nature, has created everyone uniquely. The way I get to use my uniqueness is by helping people discover and repair their own damage and pain, so they can then move forward to do God's Will.
I am happily married to my amazing wife Heather (an Associate Pastor here at Music of Life Church Kimberly) and we have two awesome daughters, Layla and Rosie. I love hanging with my family and enjoy watching them grow more into who God created them to be!
