Live in Berrien Springs, MI. Married for 25 years to Flora Gutierrez Oosterhouse. We met at Calvin College. We attend the CRC of St. Joseph MI. We are involved in the Mission Committee and have participated in 7 short term mission trips to the Dominican Republic. We enjoy serving and worshipping with our brothers and sisters in the DR.
We have one son, who is currently serving his country in the United States Marine Corp.
