Kristi has been attending Peace since early 2021 and joined the staff in 2023. Born in Minnesota, she moved around as a child before settling in the area during middle school. She is married to her husband Eric, and they have three children: Colton, Lexi, and Austin, who attend Dutton Christian School, where Kristi also works as a paraprofessional. The family stays busy with the kids' sports and activities but enjoys movie nights together at home. Kristi loves reading, walking their dog, and spending time with friends around a bonfire. In the summer, they frequent Silver Lake to be with family, go to the beach, and ride in the dunes. One of her favorite Bible verses is Psalm 18:1-2: "I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
