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 Spring Arbor University.
