I was born in Utah, but my Dad was in the USAF so I moved around a lot. I've lived in California, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Texas, and England.

I served an LDS mission to the Dominican Republic in 2000-2002.

I graduated the University of Idaho in 2008 with a BS in Chemical Engineering and a Writing Minor.

Now I live in the same town my parents grew up in: Idaho Falls, Idaho. I have a job here at the INL and I live with my sweetheart Elizabeth.
