Albie is an approved candidate for rostered ministry of Word and Sacrament in the ELCA, a midwesterner through and through, and a craftin' cat dad to Simon the Zealot and Lazarus the Living. He has been coming to the Goose annually since 2023 thanks to Jacqui and Jones! On any given day he can be found listening to curated playlists and at his creative arts desk getting into some holy trouble with collaging, letter-writing, zine-making, you name it, he has probably tried it! He is a graduate of Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University ('26), and received his undergraduate degree in Religious Studies with a minor in Creative Writing from the University of Northern Iowa ('21).
