My name is Mike Westra. I’m 29 years old. I’ve been married for seven years. My wife, Amber and I have five children whom we love and treasure. I went to college for science, education, but have been in the construction trades since graduation. I’m a house painter. I’m a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. I’ve recently come to the opinion that much of the sickness in our society is coming out of the way we produce and process food. I believe that one of the best things I can do for society is produce good, clean, delicious food for people to eat. I would also like to be near my family to care for them and teach them while I work.
