A Word from Koen:
“I enjoy the team, the core values, the Christ-minded business decisions, the flexibility, and the creative work I get to put into Strategic. Outside of work, I stay active and social, going to church, spending time with friends, riding motorcycles, and working on cars. I spend almost all of my time outdoors or with people, only really coming home to sleep most days. I’m also a huge nerd when it comes to astronomy, quantum mechanics, physics, chemistry, and all things science. I love learning about our universe, believing that the more we understand it, the closer we come to appreciating God and His creation. It’s hard to pick just one favorite memory, but one type of moment stands out: after spending countless hours on a project, everything finally comes together and works. Sitting back and realizing that all the effort was worth it because it will help people is not only my favorite memory, but also the motivation that keeps me moving forward.”
