About Me

Kurt M. Boemler: St. Louis, Missouri, United States; Once upon a time, I grew up in the STL MO area (Barnhart) until I became a soldier. I was in Psyop and lived in Ft. Bragg, NC for 4 years, where I used loudspeakers, learned Spanish (kinda), and jumped out of aircraft. Then I came back to MO, but to Springfield. I matriculated at SMSU (Missouri State) and earned a BS in 3 majors and 2 minors. During that time I pastored 2 churches. Then I fell in love. Now I am married to Beth. We lived in Texas for four years while I went to seminary at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University and she got her Masters in Counseling at Texas A&M in Commerce. Now we live in St. Louis. I am a Commissioned Elder in the United Methodist Church. I am The-Boy-Who-Said-No to the Appointive Cabinet, so now I'm the pastor of nowhere.
