Professional Activities:
I am an attorney with a general practice located in Valaparaiso, Indiana. Before receiving my J.D. in 1999 from Valparaiso University, I spent fifteen years teaching Religious Studies and Theology courses at Indiana Univesity Northwest, Valparaiso University, and the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. I received my Ph.D in 1984 from the Lutheran School of Theology.  My small business experience comes from owning and operating (for almost 30 years) food concession trailers which travel to Midwestern fairs and festivals. More popularly known as Dr. Vegetble Inc., you can visit this concession and receive a tasty basket of fried vegetables, legal advice, and a discourse on the role of religion in American society.
