Christian Education has always been an important part of my life. It started with 9 years here at GHC (graduated in 2011). I then spent my high school years at WMCHS (graduated in 2015). From there, I went on to Calvin University where I received at BA in Special Education (K-12) as well as Elementary Education (K-8).

Getting to work with kids in a distinctly Christian setting is of utmost importance to me. So much of a person’s life foundation is laid in their middle/high school years. If I can be someone who helps ground students in Christ during these years, I feel as though I have not wasted the time God gave me to do work.

In the past, I have taught 5th grade at Grand Rapids Christian Middle School. After that I was the Inclusion Coordinator for Grand Rapids Christian Elementary; however I am thrilled to be back in a classroom. I spent 3 summers at Camp Geneva, 2 of them coordinating the Pines (7th-9th grade) Program. I’ve also coached middle school boys and girls basketball for many years.

Whether it is teaching, coaching, or working at summer camp, I love to invest in kids. I was married in the summer of 2021 at my favorite place, Camp Geneva. My wife and I enjoy camping, hiking, spending time with friends and family, and creating art together.
