After graduation I attended Weber State, and then in 1977 was called on a LDS mission to the England Manchester Mission. After returning home I worked at my gun store for the next year and a half. While working there I joined the Kaysville Fire Department as a volunteer firefighter where I still work. In 1982 I became a firefighter for the West Valley City Fire Department; I worked there for 21 years and retired. I do still work; I took a job as the first full time Fire Chief at the Kaysville City Fire Department.
I was married in 1982 to Denise Peterson and we have two children a daughter 16, and a son 14. Denise is from Redmond Utah, she had moved Pleasant grove for High school then to Kaysville in 1980. She attended U of U Law School and is a private practice attorney in Ogden.
We lived in Farmington for a short time and we currently live in Kaysville. We spend our time ridding our horses and ATVs.
