Location Stansbury Park, Utah, United States
Introduction I'm a person of many facets. Hopefully this doesn't mean that I am schizophrenic. I am first a Husband to a beautiful wife, Deb. I am also Dad to five beautiful kids. I am a Registered Nurse with a Masters degree in Nursing informatics. I work full time as an Interaction Designer designing new, market-changing, clinical software. In addition to all this, I am an adviser of 12-13 year-old boys in my local ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS/Mormon). I also tour and sing with the Jenny Phillips Choir. I love to ride my motorcycle whenever it is dry and warm enough (> 30 degrees). It is a rich and challenging life that I live. As you may see in my interest list that I possibly have more interests than is healthy for one person to have. It often drives me crazy that I can't devote enough time to any one thing, but, I guess that is what makes life worthwhile.
Interests Family, God, Music, singing, guitar, motorcycles, computers, piano, trumpet, web design, reading, writing, old cars, hiking, mountain biking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, health and nutrition, wrestling (not the fake stuff), farming, gardening, auto mechanics, building/fixing stuff, travel, healthcare, politics, movies, and probably a few other things that aren't at the top of my mind at the moment.
Favorite Movies Lord of the Rings, Spiderman 1 & 2, My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof, Castaway, How to Steal a Million, X-Men, Pixar.
