I am an outdoors family guy who loves to incorporate my family in the things I do. I enjoy geocaching, soccer, skiing, traveling and trying new things/experiences. I have 2 BEAUTIFUL daughters (Kirra 4, Eliana 1) and an AMAZING wife (Megan) who make coming home a joy. I have been teaching at East Kentwood for 3 years and prior to that at Creston High School in Grand Rapids for 2 years. This is my second year as the boys and girls JV soccer coach at East Kentwood, and play a little soccer myself in recrational leagues. I attend Mars Hill Bible Church in Grandville, and have been a youth leader there of 4 years. I love being a teacher because I think that ALL children deserve a chance at a better future and an education is the best way to make that happen - I just get to be a part of it which I think is cool and honorable.
