Life's Work | Service | Interests: Following one year at Utah State University, he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Western States Mission. Upon his return, he enrolled at Brigham Young University. On May 6, 1966, he married the love of his life, Mary Kay Lawrence, in the Manti LDS Temple.
