I graduated from Calvin College and Michigan State with degrees in Physical Education and Exercise Physiology. I taught at Moline Christian for two years. I have been at South Christian since the 92/93 school year. I teach health, anatomy/physiology, and a Discipleship class. My wife Kris is also a teacher. We have three children who have gone to South Christian and three grandchildren currently at Byron Center Christian. I enjoy reading, playing games with the family, and hiking on vacations. I also have a passion for learning more about the culture and context of the Bible. I have been to Isreal several times and have led two trips.
