Born and raised in Wisconsin, Dan is a product of his own faith journey and has a passion to help people experience what it took him too long to discover: a real, raw and relational walk with Jesus. It was when God intersected with Dan in this way that his path changed and he began pursuing ministry.

Dan has served as a pastor for over 18 years in a variety of capacities: from working in a larger congregation helping start a second campus to launching a new church plant with a small core of people. Most recently, he served as pastor of Mission and Discipleship for Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran in Pewaukee, WI.

In every context of ministry, Dan has a passion to translate the Gospel in tangible ways so that every person can meet and embrace the love of Jesus. He loves walking the path of discipleship alongside others who are discovering a new identity and purpose for their lives. In all things, Dan longs to help people experience the grace and truth of God in real ways that touch down in their lives.

He lives this mission out with his teammate and bride of over 20 years, along with their 4 teenage children who love Jesus and serve the Lord right alongside mom and dad. In his spare time, Dan loves all things Wisconsin: the outdoors, hiking, kayaking, hunting, fishing, restoring old cars, sports – Packers, brats, and cheese curds!

Kimberly Joy Krueger empowers women to live extraordinary lives and tell their stories.

Kimberly has overcome some of life’s toughest struggles with beauty, dignity and grace—with her eyes looking up and never looking back.

Kimberly fell in love with running in 2014, and has since run over ten 5Ks and Half Marathons. In 2016, she added to that the title of “Marathoner,” running her first 26.2 mile race just twenty-three months after being hit by a car. She will tell you that since then, her favorite race to run is the Race of her destiny, and she runs it to WIN! Her commitment to empower women through FEW and FEW Publications only deepened after her accident.

As a third-generation entrepreneur, she has set her goals high and continues to reach higher while writing and publishing books and speaking to various audiences. Her main mission is to help women see their true value and reach their God-given potential and she is doing that by leaps and bounds. As the Founder of The Fellowship of Extraordinary Women (FEW) and FEW Publications, she empowers women to live extraordinary lives and tell their stories. FEW offers women an exceptional menu of services: FEW Monthly Forums (& Membership), FEW Moms Virtual Monthly Membership, FEW’s Women’s Leadership Conference and women’s retreats, Kimberly’s Keynote Speaking (for businesses, organizations and churches), and authoring opportunities through FEW International Publications’ extraordinary books.

As if that were not enough, Kimberly says that her greatest accomplishment in life is being a wife, mother to her TWELVE children and Noni to her four gorgeous grandchildren. Her closest friends will tell you that she is a ‘mom to many and a friend to all.’ For fun, Kimberly transforms into a ‘Biker Chic,’ and rides alongside her husband, Scott, on her Harley-Davidson® Road King.
