About Calvin

I was born and raised here in St. Thomas but I stopped over in Ancaster to attend Redeemer University to get my teaching degree.  I then made a few major detours to Japan and BC before settling back here where I discovered my beautiful wife, Andrea!  We got married in 2020 amidst the turmoil of covid and began attending RBC.  Some of the best choices of my life!  I love playing chess, hiking, reading, and spending time with my friends.

I’ve taught in the Christian elementary system for 13 years across all the grades and all the subjects.  I’m blessed to still be teaching in various capacities at St. Thomas Community Christian School.  I love working with kids.  It’s my passion and the skillset God has blessed me with, so, I was thrilled to accept the Redemption Kids’ director position here at our church.  I love the obvious excitement, the energy, and the passion our kids here at RBC bring.  I look forward to all that is coming, God willing, in the next several years!
A verse that has lived with me throughout my life is Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.”  There are so many applications to this simple verse and I continue to find freedom, security, and peace as I ponder these words.  Be Blessed!
