I was born in Prineville, Oregon. Growing up, I primarily lived in the Salem area. In 1994-1996, I had the opportunity to serve in the Tennessee Knoxville Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Shortly after my mission, I had enlisted in the United States Air Force, and proudly served for 14 years. Currently, I am in the midst of a career change, and am attending culinary school in Portland, Oregon.
