C.J. Lyngen ’92 is a native of Maple Grove, MN. He and his wife, Tricia (CSB 1992, SJU/SOT 1999), have two daughters, Leah (8), and Lucy (6), who adore Saint John’s and Saint Ben’s. C.J and family live in Rogers – just a short drive to SJU/CSB, a jaunt they often make. He brings infectious enthusiasm, a joyful sense of humor and a fervent affection for Saint John’s to his post as president of the National Alumni Board.

C.J. is energized by his involvement with others. He’s an area sales manager for Owens Corning, selling building materials, promoting Owens Corning’s marketing services and educating customers on building systems. He travels much of Minnesota and North Dakota and enjoys meeting with customers and socializing.

His social nature and spirit of camaraderie have led naturally to his involvement in Saint John’s as an alumnus. C.J. lives the Benedictine values of hospitality, obedience, stability, and community in all areas of his life.
