What have you been up to since you graduated? What are the high points of your life?

17 Grandchildren, five children
We have two vacation properties in St. George, we love Europe and have been there five times
Went on a mission to Vienna, Austria and got married to Shelley in 1983. Spent 36 years in Logistics Sales and formed my own company 16 years ago.

Lived one of your dreams? Farthest you have traveled?

I always wanted to be a Father. I love children and love our 17 grandchildren (under the age of 10). They fill our house with chaos and joy! Been to New Zealand to pick up a missionary,

A little about yourself now...Any nicknames? Favorite vacation spot? Favorite book, movie, dessert, holiday, way to relax?

Favorite spot on the earth is Hallstadt, Austria. Favorite spot for family is Lake Powell, we have a houseboat and wave surf boat. Been house-boating for 24 years.

Where else have you lived, besides where you reside now?

Two year mission to Vienna, Austria (German)

Do you still have family around SLC?

Yes my Mother, two brothers, two sisters, my older brothers are in Orem and Virginia.

What are your memories of high school (i.e. secret crush, embarrassing moment, most awkward moment, funniest thing you did in high school, favorite high school hang out, favorite teachers?

I enjoyed making the Citius, Altius, Fortius weight lifting club as a Freshman, turns out I got my picture in the library hall glass case and it was taken down shortly thereafter once others were not able to qualify as it was x times your body weight and I was a stick!

Biggest thing you would do differently if you went back to high school?

Slow things down and live more in the moment and less looking forward to the next phase of life. I would pass on wrestling and got on the golf team. A little easier on my body! Plus wrestling has not converted over to business, not able to pin someone down for a deal.

Since you graduated, what did you always want to do that you haven't done yet?

Retire, meet Roger Staubach, fly in a helicopter, hike Angels Landing, Shelley is terrified of heights and we do things together.

How old do you feel?

My back 60, my lungs 50, my skin 64 (too much Lake Powell), overall 57 and I am good with that...

How do you see yourself in 10 years?

Living full-time in St George whipping up on 50 year olds in pickleball and golf.
