ABOUT ME
I am married to Elizabeth, a Young Kindergarten teacher in Hastings. I have two daughters who both grew up playing soccer at all levels which spurred my interest in coaching soccer. My oldest daughter, Emily, graduated from Thornapple Kellogg and Aquinas College. She played four years of soccer at AQ and now teaches Kindergarten in Big Rapids. My youngest daughter, Ellie, graduated from Thornapple Kellogg, Muskegon Community College, and currently attends Tiffin University. She is also a member of Tiffin’s Women's Soccer Team. I have been working at General Motors for over 30 years. When not working or watching soccer, I enjoy mountain biking and time out on our family’s pontoon.
