The OréMooses

David Kruse

OréMoose Founder & CEO

David was born a leader. And while we're not sure if that's due to, or in spite of, the fact that he's a youngest child - we are immensely grateful for his incredible vision, drive, and his heart for others. It's in these strengths (& many others) that he inspires the team and drives the mission of OréMoose on a daily basis. David founded OréMoose Industries, LLC to share the message of Christ through art, beauty and craftsmanship after eight years in Catholic seminary. He is a professional musician by trade, but currently works full-time in evangelization and oversees all OréMoose goings-on. As an outdoor enthusiast, an artist, a craftsman and a teacher, David's gifts and hobbies are about as varied as Joseph's technicolor coat. Or, ya know… our Patch Adams Bible cover.

Joseph Kruse

Production Manager

Joseph is the production Manager here at OréMoose. He recently moved back to the States after spending eight years with a religious community in Italy. Joseph has a degree in percussion performance, but his skills extend far beyond the rim-shot. He has a high attention to detail, and a desire to do all things well. He is an avid and talented farmer and cook, can play guitar, and has a beautiful deep singing voice. He has studied theology and philosophy extensively and continuously desires to deepen his knowledge and faith. He holds down the fort(the shop), making sure all the orders get to where they need to be in a timely manner.

Andrew Heller

Business Outreach Coordinator

Thanks to a transformative conversion in college, Andrew had the opportunity to travel the country as a FOCUS missionary. After three years as a missionary, our little Nebraska boy eventually landed in Minnesota, and despite our classic “always winter” vibe, he’s decided to stay. Andrew could be classified as a life-of-the-party type, and while his drinks are first-class, Andrew’s extensive background in outreach and gifts in relational ministry are what make him perfect for his role. He has been with OréMoose from the beginning, and his work has been unparalleled due, if only in part, to his stunning good looks and charming personality... Definitely not the dad jokes, though.

Liesl Kruse

Bookkeeper

Liesl was the last Moose to join the team. She recently completed her Master’s degree in Business Administration, but her hunger to learn and her desire to grow were yet unfulfilled. Jumping on board with OréMoose, she has handled anything and everything financial with a sense of precision and sticktoitivness. Her assertive, but very charming WOO (Win Others Over) truly makes doing her will a joy. Seriously - who knew timesheets could be so fun. She has been part of the team since 2021 and is looking forward to helping to develop and unfold the company in future years. 

Betsy Landsteiner

Marketing Director

Betsy is a rebel at heart. But she loves Jesus, so it all works out. She has taught herself pretty much everything she knows, and she knows quite a lot. One of the most talented and versatile women you will ever meet, Betsy handles photography, web design, marketing, invoicing, social media, email marketing, and stitching, all while maintaining a high level of performance at her actual full-time job. She is the epitome of competence and an incredible cook.
