My favorite Grand Valley memory was when I proposed to my wife, Valerie, with the Laker Marching Band playing behind us. We met during our freshman year in the LMB and have now been together for almost 9 years.

One of my favorite memories at GVSU was working with Kate VanDerKolk. From the moment I was admitted, she became an invaluable resource and guiding presence throughout my journey.

My favorite memory was randomly being filmed for the "LipDub" in 2010 and playing GVSU Rugby with my best mates!

The years have changed most of my memories into fond ones, including walking from my dorm to my class with wet hair that was frozen solid by the time I crossed Little Mac.
