I was in school for a very long time earning my PhD in Chemistry. I then obtained a faculty position at Idaho State University in 1994 and have been there ever since. I am currently the Dean for Academic Programs for Idaho State University in Idaho Falls. Idaho Falls is a great town, which reminds me of Provo in the late 1970's and early 1980's. I am married to a wonderful wife and have three wonderful children. My oldest son graduated from high school this year. We enjoy skiing/snowboarding, boating and road and mountain biking as a family. We also really enjoy traveling, both in the country and abroad.
