One of my favorite college memories is meeting the friends who would become like family. We bonded over late-night study sessions, spontaneous adventures, and just always showing up for each other. Another highlight was playing intramural sports!

My favorite Grand Valley memory is working at the GVSU Alumni Relations Office as a student communications assistant. I had a great time facilitating the alumni events and bugging the student graphic designer, who remains one of my closest friends.

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 Grand Valley memories is the thrill of being on a new campus where Vietnam protests were as accepted as the traditional West Michigan values. Most important though is meeting my wife and developing lifelong friendships.

I loved sledding down the hill on trays from the Commons, concerts, grabbing Peppino's, looking to see if "the rock" had been repainted, crossing the Little Mac (wondering if it was shaking for a reason), and finally, graduating in the spring.

My favorite GVSU memory is walking into my first GVSU career fair in downtown Grand Rapids and seeing all of the companies with booths. This sight was exciting and nerve-racking at the same time.
