I am a service brat who went to 12 different schools before I graduated HS. I was a three time state champion at 440 yards in Idaho small schools and from there spent my college years at BYU where I majored in health education and eventually got a MS in Sport Psychology. I was All-American in Track in the 880 yd run and the Medley Relay. Also, during that time, I served in the Japan Sapporo Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been married twice and have 5 children and 3 step children. I also have 4 grandchildren, 2 in North Carolina and 2 in Japan Bummer.
