Karen graduated from Dordt College (now University) with a degree in Business Administration and Accounting. Karen grew up in Iowa and met her husband Dan at Dordt College. After living in Minnesota for 26 years, Karen and Dan moved to Beloit in 2011, where Dan taught at Rock County Christian School and Karen worked as the school's bookkeeper.

They enjoy traveling to Milwaukee, North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Iowa (basically the midwest!) to visit their children, grandchildren, and extended family. Besides loving to spend time with their children and grandkids, Karen also enjoys biking, hiking, kayaking and a wide variety of other outdoor activities, with her husband. When the weather doesn't cooperate for being outside, she enjoys scrapbooking, sewing, and crafts.

Her favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV)
