One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is spending Fall days at the Sustainable Agriculture Project taking care of the honey bee hives and harvesting vegetables.

My favorite experience was working on the GVSU Summer Film Project: The Gospel According to Roy. It was a unique experience that was just like working on a professional set with professional actors and crew.

I always enjoyed the luxury of being able to visit often with my uncle, Norman TenBrink, who was a long-time faculty member in the geology department, and who's office was just a few steps away from my living center (Weed).

My graduate assistantship provided some very fond memories and experiences. I loved working for GVSU's Career Center, and I made so many lifelong friends in the CSAL program. GVSU was truly a special place that allowed me to excel in my graduate work.
