Family:  Until 2002  I lived in the Midwest.  I moved to Utah to work at BYU and started teaching at UVU in 2006. 

I am a widow with four grown children who are all married.  My daughter lives in West Jordan with her family.  I have a son who is a student at the U of U.   Another son is a graduate student at the University of Virginia.  His wife is a nurse.  My oldest son is an Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University.  He and his family love being back in the midwest (too humid for me).
