Jon and Kathleen have been married since 1994. They have 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren. Jon has been helping people connect with God through His word and His world since 1992. He has done this as a pastor, international speaker, administrator/teacher in public and private school, and wilderness guide since 1992 all over the U.S. including Northern Minnesota and Grand Canyon, as well as dozens of
trips to the Dominican Republic. Jon loves adventure. God has graciously allowed him to explore, with tenacious curiosity, the wonders of the world. In it all, he has discovered the greatest adventure is life with God and others. His pioneer spirit has driven him to explore new places physically but also to pursue deeper love for God and others. Jon
has a master’s in theology from the University of Northwestern in St. Paul, MN.

Currently he and his family lead a marriage, family, and youth retreat ranch in Northern Arizona called Gloryview Ranch. He also pastors Gloryview Church which meets on the ranch.
