Originally from the Minneapolis area, Jeff moved to southern New Hampshire in 1989 when he began his 30-year career as an air traffic controller. In 2012 he was ordained and began serving as a pastor in a bi-vocational role at his home church for the next 9 years. After retiring from the FAA he continued to work in various areas related to air traffic. This retirement brought him to his move to the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

While completely unexpected, Jeff felt God’s calling to full time ministry as pastor of Redeemer Church in 2024. It is his desire to see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel and live as mature disciples connected to the life and mission of the church.

Jeff and his wife, Micki, have 2 adult children, daughter Annie, and son Ben. Annie is married to Nick and mom to Ezekial and Hazel.
