Biography

The Lord brought my family to Michigan during the summer of 2017 as an assistant professor at SAU.  I currently teach and serve as chair in both the chemistry and physics departments.  When not teaching, I can be found either in the woods or on the water. The Nydegger family attends Falling Waters Bible Church which meets every Sunday on the campus of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½.
