Personal life

Kiff was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the oldest of five sons.[10] His youngest brother, Andrew Vanden Heuvel, discovered an asteroid in 2003. His grandfather, Ralph Heynen, was a pastor at Pine Rest, an institution in Cutlerville, Michigan. He had a radio broadcast where he would record his sermons in his study and they would be sent to radio stations across the country.[10] Whenever VandenHeuvel's family would visit his grandparents, he made a beeline to his grandfather's study and played with the recording equipment. This is where he credits the beginning of his VO career, playing with his grandpa's recording rig.[10]

VandenHeuvel attended and graduated from Calvin College, in Grand Rapids, with a degree in Communications Arts and Sciences.[10]
