Education

• B.A., German, Hope College, 1987

Professional Experience

Before returning to the college in 1988, Greg was a general assignment reporter for The Holland Sentinel. His primary beat was the community of Zeeland, but he covered a bit of everything (education, local government, and other news and features), including Hope.

Why I Love Hope

Greg loves the faculty mentors who take a sincere interest, the stimulating academic environment, the genuine and caring community, and the friendships formed. All of these aspects made a tremendous difference to Greg as a student and have shaped his life for the better ever since. It is a debt he can never fully repay, but Greg hopes that helping the share the Hope story is at least a start.

Outside the College

Greg enjoys local history and is a past member of the board of the Holland Area Historical Society. He and his wife, who is also a Hope graduate, have two children.
