He married Susan Sadenwasser in May of 1985, just after graduating college. During the seminary years, the one year of internship - “vicarage” - was spent at the dual parish of Christ Lutheran Church of Eagle River and St. John's Lutheran Church of Phelps which are located in the far north of Wisconsin. Pastor Eugene Ahlswede served as his supervising pastor. Also during these 4 years of seminary study, three children were born – Warren, Andrea and Rachel.
