I’m married to my beautiful wife Hanneke. We have two children - our son, Kish, and our daughter Salomé – and baby due summer 2026. We love getting invested in our small groups, hanging out with friends, traveling to National Parks, and adventuring. 

Growing up, my family traveled a lot via mission trips as well as to see family. I’ve spent time on 6 of 7 continents, in more than 35 countries. I love experiencing new cultures, meeting different people, and expanding my worldview. I consider myself a bit of a travel guru when it comes to reward systems.

My first love however was baseball. I grew up playing baseball, basketball, and football with my three younger brothers. We all played sports in college, and 3 of us signed professional contracts afterwards. I’m a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan having grown up in the western suburbs of Chicago.

Hanneke and I are on the Board of Directors for a small non-profit organization called Overflow Mission that serves in Zambia. We have a deep passion for this country and the town of Zimba that we have visited numerous times. We love spending time investing in the people there and that community.
