About Lakes Area Pregnancy Support Center

Dan was born and raised in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area, living with his Mom, Dad, and two brothers in and around the communities of Garrison, South Brainerd, Deerwood, Ironton, and Nisswa. After graduating high school, Dan married his high school sweet-heart, Natika, and swept her off to the Twin Cities for the better part of 12 years.

After securing a degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Bethlehem College and Seminary, Dan pastored at a church in Annandale for 6 years and then planted a church in the suburb of Roseville. In 2022 Dan and Natika uprooted from the Cities and moved back to the area with their three children, Elise, Alice, and Liam.

Dan is passionate about people and loves to imagine a future in which the Kingdom of God becomes more and more visible here on earth. When he's away from his office, you will likely find Dan preparing to fill the pulpit at a nearby church, meeting with people at one of the local coffee shops, or at home playing games with the kiddos.
