I was born and raised in Canada. I come from two loving parents who I consider to be not only my rock, but my best friends in life. I have 2 older sisters and a younger brother who were my companions growing up and my support when I needed it. My siblings names are Melanie, Melissa and Helmut. My dad is German. He decided to name my brother and I with German names that resembled our family tree; I am named after my grandmother whereas my brother is named after my father. My mom and dad instilled family into me by being such great role models as they packed up their hecktic lives and moved across country for jobs that would have them home when I left and returned for school. My sister Melanie is married to Ronald Green and they have two boys, Johnny and Colton, and one on the way. My brother Helmut is engaged and will be getting married in June. My second oldest sister is Melissa who has an adorable dog and loves to travel. I came to the United States in 2009 to attend Brigham Young University- Idaho to get a bachelors in Elementary Education. During my studies, Chris and I dated and got married a year later in 2010. As I was in school, I took my schooling seriously and completed three semesters in one year. By following this path, I graduated 2 years earlier than planned. I officially earned my Elementary Education degree in 2012. I then used my degree to teach sixth grade in Idaho. I then moved to Utah to teach at a Charter school in West Valley City, Utah. I have always loved kids and enjoyed being a voice for those who do not have one for themselves. I love my job and enjoy every single day of it. I enjoy seeing the light bulbs on their faces when they learn a new concept. I am currently working at a Charter School teaching fifth grade. I am a very outgoing individual who is loving, caring, responsible and very trustworthy. I grew up on a farm where my parents instilled trust, responsibility and a work ethic at a young age. I learned to be independent on my own, reliable, responsible and trustworthy. I am very grateful for the habits my parents have instilled in me, for the love that we share and for the respect that we have for each other.

I was born and raised in Idaho. Growing up, I was raised by my father and grandparents who instilled trust, love and obedience into my life. Though my parents are divorced, I am grateful for all of the many things that they have taught me as well as my grandparents. They instilled the values of being a true gentlemen and I implement that into my daily life as well as my marriage. I believe in working hard and cherishing those things close to you. Family is my number one priority and I am grateful for this opportunity to expand on mine. I come from a small family and I am the only child. I attended Idaho State University in 2007 and I temporally halted my education to serve a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints. When I received my mission call, I was called to serve in the Canada, Toronto Mission, where I met my wife. I then returned from my mission and transferred to Brigham Young University- Idaho in 2009. One year later, I married my wife. I attended Brigham Young University for three years and graduated with a Bachelors in Exercise Physiology. I am currently working for a spinal implant company. I am also attending school to get a second degree in athletic training. After I achieve my second degree, I will be furthering my studies to get my doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. My degree encompasses many sports. I enjoy being healthy, watching or playing sports. I love going to the gym. I practice good/ healthy habits. I love doing all of these activities with my wife. I love to foster my academic development. I have been grateful to be given an educational trust fund where myself and my children will have all of their educational needs paid for. I am grateful for the many blessings that I have been given in my life. These blessings have molded me into the person I am today.
