My wife and I met while we were still undergraduate students. She was a student at Redeemer University College while I was studying at the University of Waterloo. We now live in Hamilton with our four children.

The picture on the right shows my family and me standing in the Grote Markt (large market) in front of the Martini Toren in Groningen, the Netherlands. This was the home-town of my grandparents.

The tower and its church are officially known as the Martini tower and the Martini kerk respectively. It is considered one of the main tourist attractions of Groningen and offers a great view over the city and surrounding area. Its height is 96 meters.
