I am a farmer born and raised in Minnesota, but am now living in western Missouri. I was born and raised in the Church and served an honorable full-time mission. I was also homeschooled from third grade up. I returned from serving an honorable full-time mission in the Nevada Las Vegas West Mission about nine months ago. Greatest thing that ever happened to me! People think I am quite the romantic, which is kind of old-fashioned, I guess, but I'm not ashamed of it. I love being immersed in the beauties of this earth that our loving Heavenly Father made for us. I work for a company that manufactures home setting systems for mobile and modular homes. I am hoping to attend BYU-Idaho and major in music theory and composition.

I absolutely love music and have been playing the piano for nearly 10 years; it is one of my greatest joys in life. I also sing, but I don't consider myself very good at it, although my family will argue otherwise. I love working with animals. I also tinker with cars here and there, so I know a little bit about them.
