Luke Marrott

After graduating from Provo High I joined the US Navy and left for boot camp in August. I served almost exactly 5 years as a Fire Controlman (Weapon Systems on the Ships) and spent time in Illinois, San Diego, and Jacksonville, Florida. I did 2 6+ month deployments, one to the Caribbean and west side of South America and the second to the Mediterranean area. While in Jacksonville I attended a wedding in North Georgia and met my amazing wife Bethany. We got married in Feb of 2004 and I left for my second deployment that fall. Our first daughter was born exactly one month before I returned from my final deployment. We moved back to Utah in August of 2005. I spent some time at UVU before starting at the University DeVry with a Bachelors program in Network and Communications Management. I should finish at DeVry in the Spring of 2011. I started at Broadweave Networks in April of 2007, as a Network Engineer and continue there still, although we recently merged with another company so the name has changed. In July of 2008 we had our second daughter 7 weeks premature. She had to stay in the NICU at UVRMC for one month to grow strong enough to come home to us. She is nearing two years old and was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease which is an intolerance to gluten. So we are trying to take the whole house gluten free to help take care of her the best we can. As a family we like to enjoy the outdoors, take lots of pictures, and spend as much time together as possible. Since my wife is from Georgia we try to make it out to visit as often as possible, but with a growing family that is getting harder and harder. I expect we will be in attendance at the 10 year reunion.
