Howdy Ya'll! The past ten years have been great! After high school, I started a career in firefighting. I worked for the Salt Lake Co. Wildland Fire Department. For those who are not familiar with it, I was one of the guys putting out the fire on the mountain every summer! It was a great job for two years until I felt like I needed to do something else. I decided to serve an LDS mission. I was called to the Great Texas Dallas Mission. After having a brother go to Taiwan, and a sister go to France, I felt like I got cheated to be called to the second largest state in the union. Little did I know I would soon be raising a family here! Two years of great memories later, I met a young lady named Jessica. We would date for another two years before being married in September of 2006. In the mean time, I was hired by the Mckinney Fire Department working as a firefighter and a paramedic. As far as Im concerned, I think it is the best job in the world! McKinney is a suburb of Dallas about the same size as Provo. Jessica and I have one boy named Clayton who is the center of our lives. Clayton is 19 months and full of personality. He is definitely a daddy's boy! Between work and Clayton, I really don't have much time for anything else. We try to get up to Utah about once a year to see my family. I still claim Provo as home, but am slowly being converted to a Texan. We won't be making this reunion due to the distance, but we hope to see all ya'll in ten years at the 20th!
