Nate, our newest staff member, began working at Kingo in October of 2022! Nate and his wife have been married for 12 years, and they have a 5 year old son named Judah. Nate really loves making and playing music (he's mostly a drummer!), sports (Cubs and Bucks mainly; strange, he knows), rock climbing, theology and church stuff, and really good food. His family attends St. Luke’s Episcopal church in Bay View. He has a BA in Biblical Studies from Trinity International University (Deerfield, IL), and an MA in Christian Ministry from North Park Theological Seminary (Chicago, IL). He was born in Canada, but has spent most of his life in Chicago. Previous to Kingo, he spent 15 years doing ministry in The Salvation Army.

Allison began working at Kingo in August of 2022 after moving to Milwaukee from De Pere, Wisconsin.

Allison is currently working towards her Master's degree at Marquette University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and she hopes to be a Mental Health Counselor when she graduates in Spring of 2024. During her free time, Allison enjoys reading, thrifting, hiking, and trying out new restaurants!

We are incredibly blessed by Maria's talents at accompanying congregational music. Whether it's a jazz piece, a traditional African hymn, a Latin processional song, or any of a host of other musical styles, Maria makes our church's song better. 

She and her husband, Tom, have been longtime residents of the Shorewood community. (You may have even seen the familiar sight of them walking their dog, Ruby.)

Susan has been with Kingo for almost a year and a half. What she enjoys most about being Kingo's Financial Administrator is working with and getting to know many different individuals. During her free time, Susan loves to spend time with her family. She is also an avid gardener, and she admits that she is often what people would classify as a “Crazy Cat Lady”!
