I currently serve as the pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Tomah, WI. Prior to becoming a pastor, I served in the United States Army, achieving the rank of Sergeant Major and retiring with twenty-four years of service.

My undergraduate degree is from the University of Minnesota – Duluth, and I earned my M.Div from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. I am also a graduate of the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy.

I married my wife Becky (née Breitbarth) in 2010, and we have five wonderful children.

While I never intended to start a blog, Rogness on Tap has become a means for a below-average homebrewer to share sermons and other writings.
