Educational  Background:  From 1964-1968 I attended Dordt College and graduated in 1968 with a B.A.

M.A. from Northwestern College in 1995.

 

Professional Experience:  I have taught at OCCS for my whole career which is 42 years.

 

Family:  My wife Margene and I have four girls:  Jenness Wolgen, here in Orange City, Jolene Ter Hark, in Mason City, Jacquelyn Triplett,  in Westminster, CO, and Julynda Eekhoff, a junior at Dordt College.  We also have eight grandchildren.

 

Faith Statement: Having taught at Orange City Christian School for the past many years, I have found that OCCS is the place for me.  I enjoy teaching the middle school students with whom I am blessed to work each day.  We have many interesting and enjoyable students here.  I thank God for the privilege to work here, and I pray that the students who come here will be blessed through my teaching.
