My husband Allen and I joined UNITY in 2016. We have 3 boys: Jameson (8), Wyatt (6) and Brock (1). The older two attend Brookfield Elementry School and keep our lives very busy in various sports.

In my professional life, I am a tax/small business accountant at Spiegelberg Financial Services.

When I think of UNITY, I think of people who are “rooted and growing” – living our faith here and well beyond our walls. I think of people working to grow and change for the better. Our family includes my husband Greg and daughters Chloe and Grace. We’ve been part of UNITY for close to 20 years. We were first drawn by the meaningful “food for the soul” – and our relationship quickly deepened with the sense of community and vibrant youth program. During services, Greg is a familiar face at the piano and playing handbells. Chloe and Grace show up in a variety of roles for music and worship, and they love to volunteer at Waukesha Food Pantry, Hephatha and other partners. I stretched outside my comfort zone on the East Coast Road Trip and Appalachia Service Project!

Following a long career in corporate communications working for large companies and a global agency, I’ve earned my Associate Certified Coach credential and launched Team OC3, an executive coaching and communications consultancy. I work with leaders who are seeking to grow their confidence and capability in leading teams and organizations. I graduated from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

My wife, Heidi, and I have been married for 34 years. We have raised our three boys, now 30, 27 and 20 years old, in lake country and we are proud grandparents of a 2 1/2 year old boy. When we joined Cross of life / UNITY about 25 years ago, we knew it would be a great fit for us with the perfect trifecta of JoAnn Thom children’s program, wonderful music from the Choir and sermons from Pastor John relating to the Green Bay Packers.

I retired the first of the year after 35 years in IT in which I have been leading PMO’s for various companies and consulting in Mergers and Acquisitions over the past 10 plus years. In my spare time I enjoy being active outdoors, spending time with my family and working on projects around the house. My favorite place to be is at our cabin up north on the lake with my family.

My husband, Jon, and our two children (Michael and Keira) joined UNITY in October, 2013. We were looking for an ELCA church with a strong children's program and found our faith family at UNITY. I enjoy teaching Sunday School and leading small groups with the Confirmation students. I started the role of Christian Education council member and have been exposed to so many additional opportunities at UNITY.

I obtained a Human Resources degree (BBA) from the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh. I have been employed at Mercer since 2000, and currently lead their pension administration implementation team.

Tiffany and her husband Scott have been UNITY members since 2006 and have two high school boys, Trent and Clyde. Tiffany works as a metallurgical engineer at Unit Forgings in West Allis and likes to hike, read, and cook in her off hours.

Hello there! I am Anna Jansson and my husband, Kyle, and I joined UNITY right before Covid hit. We absolutely loved UNITY’s focus on the children and were so excited to join such a special community. Well, we all know how those few years went, but now we are so happy to be back at church celebrating with each other. I am a stay at home mom to Emma, Ben, and Owen and our dog, Sadie. My family and I have lived in Brookfield for 8 years and before that Minnesota and Colorado.

I enjoy all the things that come with managing a household of young kids: a very full summer, school events, sports, volunteering in the classroom etc.. I also enjoy volunteering outside of the classroom and am an avid reader, love being outside and up north, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I look forward to getting to know more of the UNITY Community through Church Council and to welcoming those who are new to our church!

My husband Ron and I joined UNITY almost 15 years ago. We were drawn to UNITY for several reasons. One was the welcoming community and another was the impressive list of servanthood partnerships that UNITY has within the community and beyond. Shortly after joining UNITY we started volunteering at one of those partners, The Food Pantry Serving Waukesha County. Later on we became UNITY’s advocates for The Food Pantry. After being a member of the servanthood committee for many years, I am excited to serve as the Servant Ministries Chair.

I retired six years ago after a rewarding teaching career in the Pewaukee Public Schools where I taught first grade for 23 years and four-year-old kindergarten for ten years. In my retirement I stay busy volunteering, golfing, traveling, and spending time with our four little grandsons.

I joined UNITY in 2011 with my family, Justin, Elizabeth (Lizzy) and Darian Kuehl, shortly after we moved to Brookfield. A few years ago, my mom also joined UNITY. Professionally, I am an attorney focused on utility and energy law. In my personal time, I enjoy supporting my kids, especially their soccer teams, watching sci-fi shows with Justin, volunteering with Girl Scouts, and being involved at UNITY. UNITY holds a special place in our lives because it shows that God’s love is for all people. I am blessed to have found my UNITY family, which has supported us and offered us wonderful Christian Education, Youth Group and Adult programs. I am honored to serve on Council as the Stewardship chair and welcome your feedback.
