Who I Am

The Dustin Ver Beek Family

My name is Dustin Ver Beek and I’m the guy to blame for the Un-Better Half Blog.

I’m 36 and reside in Zeeland, Michigan with my wife Lindy, and three lovely kids, Brooklyn (age 7), and twins Samantha and Maxwell (age 2).

In late July, she was given a year to live. This is where I try to process life and my thoughts. In a sense, this is a little part of my brain online for you to objectify. These thoughts are raw and unedited. I do not attend to offend, rather, capture the emotions that we/I are feeling as we live with cancer. Forgive me, but I don’t sugar coat what I’m feeling—it’s not part of my nature.

To pay the bills, I work in E-marketing for Herman Miller. I’ve been involved in E-business in one form or another since Al Gore invented the Internet.
