Biography:

I have been involved in coaching softball for over 10 years. I have coached teams at various levels including Tee Ball, Little League, and Travel. I have coached other youth sports as well including baseball, soccer, and hockey.

I love the game of softball. It is a fast paced, strategic game that has so much more to offer our girls beyond a game. I enjoy seeing them grow their love for the game as well as respect for all those involved (teammates, coaches, opponents, umpires, and themselves).

My wife Anne Marie and I have lived in Zeeland since 2005 and both really enjoy the community and all it has to offer. We have three children: Maddie, Kennedy, and Dallas.

Besides softball, I enjoy playing hockey and watching my kids participate in various activities.

Biography:

I have been teaching PE and Health at Black River for the past 5 years.  At Black River I also coach both middle school boys and girls basketball, co-chair our Project UNIFY program and coordinate our prom committee.

I first came to the Holland area to attend Hope College where I studied PE and Health education, while at Hope I played 4 years of varsity softball as a catcher, was president of the PE club and met my husband Matt. I was the assistant softball coach at Hope for 5 years following graduation.  

When I am not teaching I enjoy coaching and watching a variety of sports, hunting, being around family and friends, traveling and taking our new puppy Leroy everywhere!
