Growing up in West Michigan, I have been able to call this community my home for a good portion of my life. After graduating from Allendale High School in 2002, I attended Kuyper College and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Youth Ministry and Bible in 2007. I then was offered and accepted a position at Covenant Christian Reformed Church in Cutlerville, Michigan. I was the youth director for middle and high school ministries for three years before moving to Covenant Community Church in the fall of 2010. My wife, Tara, and I love living in the community, and being close to our church home. We are excited to work with students, and explore together what it looks like to love God and love others.
