Meet the staff at missio!

    My wife Kasey and I have three boys: Sam, Will, and Jack. We are both originally from North Dakota and have loved being closer to family in the last few years. Our family enjoy spending time with family and friends, especially on the boat in the summertime. Music and sports are hobbies that we all enjoy and there is usually a project of some kind happening in the garage. We love to host people in our home and would be glad to say hi if you stop by sometime!

    I grew up in Bismarck and it was always my dream to come back here and raise a family. After being away for ten years, I was thrilled when my husband, David, got hired as a principal at my old high school, Bismarck High. When we moved here in 2010, I made the switch from teacher to full time stay-at-home mom, and I’ve been doing that ever since.I spend my time hunting for bargains, cooking, playing piano, cheering on our four kids in all of their activities, running BisMan Cheapskate, and selling Norwex. 

    We’ve been with Missio from the start and our whole family has loved serving, growing, and living more mission-minded. Right from Missio’s start, I took on the role as organizer and planner and have loved it. Now I serve part time as the Administrative Assistant and truly love what I get to do.

    My husband Ryan and I have lived in the Bismarck/Mandan area our entire marriage. Although every Winter I question our sanity for living here, I can’t imagine ever leaving the people who now feel like family! I stay very busy being mom to our 6 kids, homeschooling, and writing, but when the opportunity to be Children’s Director at Missio came up, I felt compelled to pursue it. Every Sunday I thank God for the gift that it’s been in my life. 

    I love getting to know each of the kids God brings through our doors and the privilege of sharing Jesus and His Word with them. My passion and vision for Missio Kids is that it functions and feels like a home environment where every child feels know completely and loved unconditionally.
