Ben grew up in several states in the midwest where his father served rural congregations as a Lutheran pastor - he graduated high school in Washington, KS.  He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education (social studies field endorsement) from Concordia University in Seward, NE in 2001 and Master of Education in Athletic Adminstration from UNLV in 2008.

 

Ben came to Concordia High School as Activities Director in 2016 after serving as Middle School Athletic Director and teaching a variety of social studies classes and coaching a variety of sports at Faith Lutheran Middle School and High School in Las Vegas, NV from 2002-2016.

 

He loves spending his free time sharing traveling and outdoor experiences with his family (Ben and Mandi have four kids- Peder, Ruth, Anna, Andrew).  They are thrilled to be a part of the Concordia family.
