I’ve been married to my sweetheart Alex for the past 10
years. We have three bright and enthusiastic girls. I am privileged to
stay home with my children, which can be overwhelming at times, but is worth
it. I am currently serving in my church’s Relief Society Presidency. I
am a very active Board member of the PTA in my community. I am also working
with my daughter Laura’s Brownie Troop. I like staying busy. I also enjoy
taking my girls to the museums, local children’s plays and puppet shows, and
I enjoy our family day excursions on Saturdays. I love to read. I have
been involved in many political campaigns at the polls, Republican
Headquarters, or wherever I’m needed. I am running a recycling program of
laser cartridges and used cell phones to help fund the local school in our
neighborhood. I try to teach my kids to have a volunteer spirit in our
neighborhood by taking them to Senior Communities to visit people, and
involving them in as many service projects as possible. |
