John grew up in Rochester and attended church on and off. One day, he decided to learn more about sharing his faith, and while listening to Ray Comfort on Way of the Master Radio, he realized he was a false convert and gave his life to the Lord.
As John grew in his faith, he desired to find a church with expository preaching. In 2011, after listening to a few sermons online followed by a visit, John and his family began attending GCBC. Over the years, they have served in many areas of ministry and enjoy the fellowship that comes with that.
John and his wife, Andrea live in Owatonna and have four children. Andrea has home-schooled all their children. John works as a hospital pharmacist.
