Seth Boerboom is to put it mildly, a busy guy. He has a beautiful, hard-working, ever supportive wife Abby, and four boisterous and energetic sons (Ethan, Graham, Sawyer, and Hayes). To fill his daytime hours, he works both with his father selling agricultural equipment and also teaching piano to 40+ students. In his limited free time I can be found helping at church as a parish associate (occassionally preaching, leading worship, and and working with church youth), as well as leading a praise team.He enjoys coaching his sons' various sports teams, smoking and grilling meats, and trying out new and exciting craft beers. Most of all, he enjoys simply spending time as the Boerboom Six. He has been a member of St. Stephen for 10+ years.
