Kerri grew up in Fergus Falls, MN and moved to Detroit Lakes in
2007. Before moving to Detroit Lakes, she attended the University
of Wisconsin-Stout, where she was actively involved in Campus
Crusade for Christ. Through Campus Crusade, Kerri discovered
her desire to serve the Lord and teach others about Him,
especially children. She feels it is very important to reach children
before the 5th grade so they can live Christ-centered lives and
share Him with others. Kerri lives with her husband, Ryan, in
Detroit Lakes. She enjoys rollerblading, biking, downhill & water
skiing, rock-climbing, golfing, playing with her dog, Daisy, &
hanging out with family & friends.
