I was born and raised in Des Moines, IA and grew up attending Meredith Drive Reformed Church. When I was about to enter high school, my family moved to Algona, IA where we attended Ramsey Reformed Church in Titonka, IA. After high school, I attended the University of Iowa where I received a Bachelors Degree in Political Science and a Minor in Music. I started a career in the insurance industry and have worked in that industry since graduating from college. My wife, Kayla and I have one son, Noah and a 95 lb golden retriever named Wrigley. I have previously participated in the praise team for Meredith Drive Reformed Church and for Hope Church. I love praising the Lord and leading the congregation in worship. My favorite Bible verse comes from Psalm 100: “Shout to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.”
