Born and raised in Washington State, Pastor Dan graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Speech Communication and was a member of the Husky football team (he was on special teams).

Favorite scripture verse: John 15:11 “I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”
Sharon Boeye, Office Manager
Sharon is a Texas native, raised in the Methodist faith, and “yes, a preacher’s kid”. Her children Chris, Phillip, and Jennifer, although raised in San Antonio, have all lived in Colorado for most of their adult lives, so in 2015 Sharon finally took the leap and moved here too. In addition to being able to spend more time with her children, she is a more-than-happy fan of Colorado weather. While in San Antonio, Sharon was licensed in the financial industry and worked for 25 years as branch administrator for a large wealth management firm.
Sharon loves being part of Westview Presbyterian Church. She enjoys the opportunity to work with its amazing people and be part of the church’s mission. From day one in May 2018, Westview has felt like home. Away from the office, she is delighted to spend time with her grandson Tristan.
Karin Buer, Music Director
Karin Buer holds a doctorate in piano performance from the University of Northern Colorado. She also earned degrees in music theory (M.M.) and piano performance (M.M., B.M.) from the University of Colorado Boulder and St. Olaf College. She teaches music theory and aural skills at CU Boulder and teaches piano privately from her home in Longmont. Since the age of 15, she has served as a church accompanist at locations in Montana, Idaho, and Colorado, and she is excited to now be part of the Westview community. When she is not performing or teaching, Karin enjoys skiing, hiking, participating in triathlons, and spending time with her husband, Adam, and their daughter, Anika.
