Personal:       I am the oldest of five children. born in June of 1953 in the Primary Children's Hospital of Salt Lake City. I have two brothers and a younger sister. I was fortunate enough to be born into an "old" Mormon family and my ancestors were LDS pioneers who came to the Great Salt Lake Valley in 1850 and were sent by Brigham Young to settle Tooele, Utah to the South. My grandfather moved to Salt Lake City, and my father was transferred by the company he worked for to Boise, Idaho.

I started out my military career as a private and was commissioned after I attained the rank of staff sergeant in the Idaho Army National Guard. I was branched Medical Service Corps since I started out as a Field Medical Assistant, and before public affairs got it's own branch I was the only MSC officer in public affairs in the entire US Army!
