I grew up in The Netherlands, where my parents served as missionaries and faithfully taught me about God's love and truth. At a young age, I was convicted of my sin and my need for a Savior. I am profoundly grateful for God's undeserved grace in my life.
I came to the United States in 2015 to attend Lancaster Bible College, and I also started attending Grace Church. In 2019, I joined the pastoral staff, and in 2024, I completed a MDiv. from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
As an Associate Pastor, my primary responsibilities include overseeing the adult discipleship ministries, teaching, and discipling members of the congregation. I love helping people connect Scripture to the realities of everyday life. Additionally, I have the privilege of leading the music ministry.
In 2024, I married my wonderful wife, Beth. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer and guitar, cooking, reading good books, and spending time with people.
