Michael Hofstetter is a proud alumnus of The Ohio State University, where he earned a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering. Originally a saxophone performance major before transitioning to engineering, Michael has long been drawn to creativity, design, food, and music.

Michael is passionate about hospitality and spiritual formation and loves creating spaces where students feel deeply welcomed and encouraged to thoughtfully engage faith, culture, and vocation. He hopes Carmen House will be a place where students encounter meaningful hospitality and learn to live thoughtful Christian lives that contribute goodness, beauty, and care to the world around them.

He lives in Columbus with his wife, Kendall. Together, they enjoy cooking, exploring local restaurants and coffee shops, and reading good books.
