About Me: I am the oldest of
six children and a native of Arizona. I was raised in the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was involved in as many activities
as I could fit into a high school schedule including: marching band,
symphonic band, cross-country, basketball, track and honors classes.
I served in the Edinburgh Scotland mission and love the
Scottish people and culture. I have been a leader in the boy Scouts
of America
for the last 5 years. I am currently a Scout Master for the 12
and 13 year old boys. I have a love of music and have played the
clarinet, tuba, and am practicing the guitar. Being a father has
given me a new level of happiness. I hope to pass on my hobbies and
talents to our children and win their hearts through quality time
with them. (scroll down for more information)
Mary's thoughts about Merrill: Here’s
what you should know about Merrill. He is a man’s man! He
goes on campouts once a month with the boy scouts and has been for
the last 5 years. He loves all that kind of boy stuff, cooking outdoors
getting dirty, hiking, making knives and roughing it. Merrill enjoys
what I call experimental cooking. If we don’t have the ingredient
he will find something else to replace it with or if he thinks something
sounds good he will add it in the dish even if it doesn’t call
for it. Sometimes it’s great sometimes it’s not. Merrill
can fix just about anything that is broken and sometimes he can even
do it McGyver style. It won’t be long until Maxwell will be joining
Merrill in these activities and start learning from all of Merrill’s
talent. One of the many things that make Merrill so great are his awesome
listening skills which will help win the hearts of our children.
