Jaylen Kouw

Zealand,MI

Summary

Raised in the Holland/Zeeland area by a middle-class family, I learned the value of hard work and providing for my loved ones. My education took place in schools within the same area, culminating in my graduation from Holland Christian High School. Actively participating in various team sports from a young age instilled in me a sense of teamwork and discipline. I continued to engage in recreational team sports and joined travel softball teams. In 2022, I married the love of my life, and we now reside in Zeeland after purchasing our own home. Welcoming our first son in January 2024 has further motivated me to strive for success. With a strong work ethic and a growing young family, my ultimate goal is to provide them with the best possible future.
