I shall here attempt a simple overview of my life to this point.
Places lived:
I was born in Provo, UT while my dad was attending law school at Brigham Young University. After graduating, he got a job with the Dow Chemical Co., and so I spent my early childhood years in Midland, MI before moving to Miami, FL and staying there throughout elementary school. When the Dow office there closed down, he was transferred back to Midland, and that's where I went to junior high and high school. I then decided to likewise attend BYU, so I moved back to Provo for half a year until embarking on a two-year mission in Ukraine. For the year and a half since that time, I have been back in Provo, and will be at least until I graduate in May 2007.
Interests:
My life can be divided up neatly into the predominant interest I had at the time. Early Childhood-6th Grade: Grades 1-3: Disney movies and Nintendo; Grade 4: Star Wars; Grades 5-6: X-Men Comic books; Grades 7-9: Basketball and the NBA; Grades 10-12: Music/songwriting and running; 1st Yr. College: Microbiology; Two yr. Mission: teaching the Gospel; 2nd and 3rd Year of College: Geology and Rock Collecting. For more information on the interests that have continued with me, see the Interests section of this webpage.
Family:
My family has been a powerful source of joy in my life, and I must highlight them on a page about me. Be aware that this picture was taken some 6 yrs. ago, and so their appearances will not necessarily correspond with the ages listed.
