United States Naval Academy

Activities and Societies: I played lightweight Varsity Football my plebe year, back when I had a 30 inch waist! I was in the Deepwater Scuba club that went down to the Florida Keys to certify.
I made it through Plebe Year and Youngster Year then left to serve an LDS Mission in South Carolina and the Commandant who committed to get me back in after my mission got transferred out to sea. The Naval Academy did not have a 2 year sabbatical program at the time and was finally able to institute it a year or two after myself and my 5 classmates tried unsuccessfully to return to Annapolis. But I found a sweetheart and we married and I am very happy with the outcome.

The Naval Academy played a huge part in the discipline and success I have had in life. Go Navy! -

Activities and Societies: Trying to figure out why I was paying good money to be taught by Teachers Aids most of the time who taught me in one class and then was with me in my next class being taught by another Teachers Aid. I don't get it.
Also a minor in Creative Writing and almost a minor in Statistics

Activities and Societies: This one class I audited by Dr. Chauncey Riddle at BYU was worth more than all of my coursework any where else.
I took one class from Dr. Chauncey Riddle that changed my life and taught me how to think. It was more valuable than my degree from the University of Utah in Psychology.

Activities and Societies: I was voted the person with the best car... what a great thing to be known for!
