Haansley (or “Haans,” as most people call him) first discovered ESA’s ministry at a Summer Teen Camp in Year 8 — he returned year after year before stepping into leadership, where he now serves on multiple camps each year. He thrives on collaborating with fellow leaders and campers who share his passion for worship, music, and creativity.

Through his role as a pastoral worker with ESA, Haans hopes to discover fresh opportunities to engage and develop creativity in people all across Victoria!

Haans lives north of Melbourne, right on the edge of suburbia and farmland. He worships at Empower Church in Bundoora, where he serves in worship and youth ministry.

When he’s not working towards his degree in psychology, you’ll find Haans engaging in every form of music! Playing, producing, jamming – anywhere he can fit it in, with anyone who’s keen. He sings, plays guitar, drums, and keys, plus he dabbles in clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, and even a bit of violin. Haans also loves 4WD, soccer and futsal, and run club.
