Interests
I was born and raised in Southern Utah. At a young age, my parents taught me the value of education and the importance of life-long learning; as a result, one of my greatest passions/interests is the pursuit of knowledge. In addition, I enjoy serving others. This drive was cultivated while serving a full-time mission for the LDS church in Virginia. On my mission, I developed deep, close relationships with people from various cultures and backgrounds, and I quickly realized the value of serving others. I am married to a beautiful, amazing woman, and we have two adorable children. My wife and I love spending time with our children, and we enjoy in engaging in a myriad of outdoor activities, such as camping, riding ATVs, fishing, visiting the beach, going to the zoo etc.…
Comments on DRA
I love working at Diamond Ranch Academy! Throughout my life, I have worked for a number of different private and public entities. From a business standpoint, DRA is second to none as it pertains to how they value and treat their staff. The work environment has played a positive influence within my life. In addition, I have quickly come to the realization that DRA truly cares for the well-being and future of each and every student who enters the program. The concepts and principles found within DRA’s core are strategies I want implement within my own family in order to raise competent, productive children. I am truly grateful to be apart of Diamond Ranch Academy.
