Cheryl and I joined UNITY (COL) in 2003 during the period BC (before children). We were drawn by the involvement of members, especially the youth. Then while visiting on Pentecost Sunday 2002 the praise band played “Let It Rain” by Eric Clapton and I knew we were in the right place. We have two daughters, Caitlin & Claire, who have enjoyed the youth opportunities from Sunday School and choirs to ECRT, Senior High and youth trips. Outside of church (okay, sometimes inside as well) you’re likely to find them in contact with a soccer ball.

I’m originally from Wauwatosa. Cheryl and I met at Marquette and after tours in Chicago and Indianapolis we’ve called Brookfield home since 2001. At UNITY I’ve been a member of Adult Programs and then Comm & Tech since its inception. My background is in engineering and business and I’ve worked in telecom for the last 25+ years. I enjoy sports, music, and photography.

Phil and his wife joined Cross of Life in 2009, shortly before they were married. Phil is originally from Green Bay. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin double majoring in Finance and Economics and attended Marquette University Law School. Phil works for Northwestern Mutual in its Advanced Planning department focusing on consulting and educating its financial advisors on business planning, estate planning, and tax planning. Phil and his wife have two small children and currently reside in Pewaukee. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling to national parks, playing golf, and watching his hometown Green Bay Packers.

I grew up on a small dairy farm in Bulington, WI with 4 brothers. My Dad always said that God blessed the family with boys to help with the many chores and tasks on the farm. Mom made sure we were also adept around the house including cleaning, cooking, and of course making her famous chocolate chip cookies containing fresh picked hickory nut meats.

I pursued college and got a BS degree in business and a minor in mathematics. I moved to and lived in Greendale, WI. I worked in various roles from an account executive to the longest role as an auditor in the field of retirement administration for almost 36 years. My son Nick (oldest) and daughter Jess also went on to college to pursue their dreams and both are doing well. I have 2 grandsons Hunter and Finley of which I wish I could bottle the energy they have.

I have known my wife Diana (previously Stobbs) for over 30 years. Our friendship grew over the course of many events: parties, card nights/cribbage, birthdays, camping, vacations, football nights, and around the house help... to name a few. We just celebrated our 3rd Wedding anniversary and I have been a part of CTK and now Unity for over 4 years. (Diana much, much longer!)

My many interests include a passion for design and build woodworking projects. I enjoy fishing, when I have the time. I like playing volleyball, football, ping-pong, playing cards and games of chess!

Eric and his wife, Cindy, along with their four children; Charlie, Harrison, Ava and Lia joined UNITY Lutheran Church in 2010. The family had just moved to Pewaukee from Waterford and after a couple of visits to Cross of Life campus, they were attracted to the overall message of the church and its vibrant youth program. And it didn’t hurt that it was only 5 minutes from their house.

After some “nudging” from Cindy, Eric became involved with the education program at UNITY as a Sunday school teacher. That was followed by helping out with the confirmation program. Eric enjoys joining his kids whenever possible as part of their youth events. This includes the overnight lock-ins, crazy uncle, the fast food relay, and fall trips to the corn maze and haunted house. He has been part of the East Coast Road Trip, Kentucky mission trip, and Boundary Water canoe trip. He likes to ski and is hoping to be part of the Devil’s Head ski trip one of these years.

Eric grew up in Waukesha and graduated from Waukesha South in 1990. He received a civil engineering degree from Marquette University and currently works at Kohl’s Department Stores in their property development department. He enjoys being outdoors and attending as many live music shows as possible.

Eric would like to thank the outgoing youth council chair, Eric Ebenhoch, for his tireless commitment and dedication to the youth at UNITY... “Where do I even begin? He has been super supportive and involved during this transition and I definitely have some big shoes to fill. If I can do 50% of what he accomplished, I will consider myself lucky. I tip my hat to one of the all-time greats to hold this position”.
