Personal Biography

After teaching middle school for seven years, I was self employed for seven years remodeling homes and running a power washing company.  I came to South Christian in 2007 and enjoy my work in the maintenance area.  Because of my previous experiences, I feel I am able to tackle many different problems and be a valuable member of the South Christian staff.

I have lived in other states and countries but have always called Grand Rapids home.  I am happily married to Sonia, a South Christian graduate.  We are the proud parents of Joci, Blake, and Anika. We enjoy reading, swimming, and camping as a family.  Most of our extended family also calls West Michigan home so we are blessed to see them often.  I enjoy being active in our community and church.  I especially love singing and have had the opportunity to be involved in many different groups.

Faith

I was reared by wonderful parents who taught me how to put others ahead of myself and have a personal relationship with Christ.  I work everyday to treat everyone I encounter the way that I would like to be treated.  Because I am a sinful man, I am reminded daily of the saving grace of my Lord and Savior.  I seek to live a life pleasing to him in word and deed.  Being a parent, I am conscious of my responsibility to teach my children to love the Lord as well.
