I am the 8th grade homeroom teacher at Bethany Lutheran School. I also serve as the Principal, Athletic Director, and coach several different athletic teams at Bethany and Manitowoc Lutheran High School.

I was born and raised in Mequon, Wisconsin, and I spent the first 15 years of my life in Mequon attending Calvary Lutheran Church in Thiensville, Wisconsin. I attended Luther Preparatory School in Watertown, Wisconsin where I participated in football, basketball, and baseball.

After high school, I went on to attend Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. While at MLC, I was a member of the football team and was able to coach a number of basketball and flag football teams in the community.

3 days into my college career, I met my future wife, Ruth (Servais) Krause. We have been blessed with three beautiful children: Makiah (age 7), Aaden (age 5), and Laila (age 2).

In May of 2006, I received my first assignment to Bethany Lutheran School and have been here ever since. I thank the Lord every day that he has given me the opportunity to spread His Word to the children at Bethany. My family and I feel blessed to be part of this church and school.
