I was born and raised in Logan. My wife and I have seven children. I graduated Magna Cum Laude
from Utah State University and received my law degree from the University of Utah. I am a partner
in a law firm focusing on personal injury, criminal defense, and municipal law since 1980. I am a
member of the Utah State Bar and the Navajo Nation Bar. I have served on various boards of
directors in the community such as CAPSA, the Northern Utah American Cancer Society, the Northern
Utah Victim's Rights Committee, the Cache Chamber of Commerce, and the Logan Library. I am a
Handball Instructor at USU where I enjoy the associations with the students. I have served in
many capacities for the
LDS church.
