My time at Rocky Mountain College is filled with wonderful memories, all of which pointed me towards what I am doing now, serving God as Pastor of First Christian Reformed Church in Brandon Manitoba. But it's been a full 11 years to get here!  Just a few days after graduating from RMC in 2014 I took a trip to Australia and New Zealand with my brother, after two months of an adventure high, I came back and sat next to my future wife Rosanne at church. 

We married a year later, and after a year of living in Calgary together we headed off to Grand Rapids, to Calvin Theological Seminary. God kept opening up doors to this call to ministry, from our house in Grand Rapids, to thriving in seminary, and even doing well with Greek and Hebrew!

Through a number of internships and four years of seminary I graduated in the spring of 2020. Right in the beginning of COVID.

We all have our experiences of that time, but that is the space where I entered my first church in Essex Ontario. It was a hard 4 years there, but God taught me a lot about life, ministry and his faithfulness. Along the way my wife and I were blessed by two kids, Brayden and Leah, now 3 and 21 months.

This last summer, we moved to Manitoba and to a small church with a huge heart. So if you are driving across the country, look us up here in the middle of Canada, Brandon Manitoba. Many RMC folks will be happy to know I am in a choir once again. Prairie Blend. Look that up too! May the Lord bless us as we follow his path which he sets before us.
