I was raised in Gridley, CA in a house just outside of town. My 4 younger brothers and I enjoyed sports, motorcycles, and many other outdoor activities. After high school I attended Brigham Young University. During my studies I took a break to spend two years in Mexico as a missionary for my church. Shortly after returning from Mexico I married my high school sweetheart Cortney.
I graduated from BYU with a BS in Electrical Engineering in April of 2011. I am currently attending CSU, Chico pursuing a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering. I plan to complete the degree by April 2013. Cortney and I have two daughters Starlyn and Lola. We spend our evenings going on walks and swimming. I still enjoy motorcycles and have an everyday-rider-project-bike, 1978 Honda cb750. I love hot summer days and somewhere to swim.
