I am an avid football fan.
I played football at BYU during the Ty Detmer era.
I love the outdoors. You will find me hiking, camping, mountain biking, and exploring when I'm not in the office.

Oh, and did I mention, I also like cars. I have an older sports car that I am slowly working on restoring -- ask me about it next time we meet.
I earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Brigham Young University, and then continued at BYU to earn a juris doctor degree (or law degree).
I have practiced law in Michigan from 2002 until 2013, and has been practicing in Utah since then.
