My favorite things about Bethel Seminary:
The faculty and staff are among the best parts of Bethel Seminary. They want you to succeed in what you are called to do. I also love sitting on the seminary patio looking at the lake when it is not -10 degrees outside. 

My favorite Twin Cities/Minnesota sites:
Lake Harriet. Mississippi River. The Independent. Manny's. Murray's. Lord Fletcher's. Minneapolis Institute of Art. Williams Arena. And most of all Chris & Rob's Chicago Style Eatery (formerly Joey D's).

Before working at Bethel:
Prior to this role Joseph served as the director of admissions and recruitment for Bethel Seminary for four years. Earlier during his career at Bethel Seminary, he was the associate director of recruitment for Bethel Seminary’s Leadership Vision initiative. He also served for two years during the 105th and 106th Congress as a legislative correspondent for former U.S. Senator Rod Grams in Washington, D.C., and was a youth ministry intern at a church in the Twin Cities.

Joseph is a leadership and organizational consultant and enjoys working with students and organizations to help them maximize their effectiveness. Joseph coaches volleyball both collegiately for St. Catherine University and junior olympic for Minnesota Select. He is an avid runner and skier, but most of all enjoys hanging out with his wife Danielle. They live in Minneapolis and enjoy the parks and trails their city has to offer.
