What got you interested in this field?
I’ve always been drawn to numbers, but in college I also discovered a real interest in psychology. The mix of analytical thinking and people-focused work is what makes my role so fulfilling. I really enjoy creating systems that bring both efficiency and a sense of calm—helping our team work smoothly and stay focused on what matters most.
Family
I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for over 26 years. Together, we’ve been blessed with three children, two sons-in-law, and one beautiful grandchild (so far!).
Hobbies and Relaxation
- Boating is one of our favorite family pastimes—West Michigan summers make it especially enjoyable!
- I love helping friends bring a sense of calm and order to their homes by organizing spaces that feel a bit overwhelming.
- I’m known for taking a lot of pictures—can you ever really have too many?
