MEET PASTOR DAVID
Hi! I'm David. (No need to add the "Pastor" part, though that's fine if you prefer.)
BACKGROUND
This is the third year I've served as Discipleship & College Ministry Pastor here at HWC. Prior to that I taught at Houghton Academy (2017-2022), served in global mission in Cameroon (2014-2017; soccer jersey above), pastored Resurrection Community Church in Philadelphia (2002-2014), taught at Phil-Mont Christian Academy (1994-2001), went to Calvin University (1990-1994), and, yup, grew up right here in little old quirky-fantastic Houghton (1972-1990).
FAMILY
I married up by somehow landing my high school sweetheart nurse Heidi (formerly of the HU Health Center). We occasionally 😀 admit that Anna (current HU senior) is our daughter. Our sons are Gabe (HU '23) and Luke (HU '21). They both of whom live in Buffalo, NY.
PASSIONS
Building high-end stereo speakers has been my hobby since the 8th grade. I also love boating and have adored outboard engines since I was about 5 years old. (The tattoo on my right ankle is a boat propeller.) Alas, I can only afford an inflatable with a 10-horse Tohatsu on the back, but it's still a lot of fun. And then there's various building projects at home--I enjoy acting as if I know what I'm doing.
