Family

I was born and raised as the oldest of four children in Washington State. I graduated from Kentridge High School in 2009. I was always a hard worker and while in high school I earned my Associates from Green River Community College. I enjoyed playing trombone for the high school's jazz band and earned my Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts of America. I worked 20 - 30 hour weeks at an auto parts warehouse while in high school. Upon graduation I served a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Denver, Colorado. In 2012 I was accepted to Brigham Young University Provo and attended with a 1/2 tuition scholarship. I studied and enjoyed environmental science and business management. 

In 2013, I decided I wanted to pursue dentistry after job shadowing multiple health professions. I applied to dental school even though I wasn't going to graduate for another 2 years. December 1st 2013 I was accepted into Midwestern Glendale AZ's DMD program and shortly thereafter accepted the 4-year HPSP US Navy Scholarship. 

I met Rachel early 2013 in Provo UT. I was going to BYU and Rachel was attending to UVU studying Theater and participated on their track team. We fell in love, got married, and moved to Glendale. As I was attending dental school, Rachel attended cosmetology school. In 2015 Rachel graduated and became a licensed cosmetologist. She worked at a kids hair cutting place and loved it. In 2016 we had a beautiful little girl who is very well behaved with loads of personaility.

Since then our family has grown to include another girl and our first boy. While serving with the marines we also picked up 2 fur babies named Max and Lizzie who are pure-bred Rough Collies. Our family enjoys playing board games, scuba diving, skiing, painting, and spending time with the grandparents in the great outdoor cities of McCall and Island Park. We love the state of Idaho and having both sides of our family within driving distance is icing on the cake.
