As I look back on my roots, I grew up all over for the first few years of my life. Before getting here to Idaho Falls, and working for the Group Real Estate, a small town Southeast Idaho real estate company doing big things, I was all over the place, as dad moved around for school and work. I was born in Logan Utah, close to here, as my mom and dad are from Rigby, Idaho both of them, high school sweethearts. Dad decided to go to Utah State, followed by the University of Iowa for Law School. After graduating there, we ended up in Palmyra, New York, when dad took a job with a law firm there. The plan, for them, was to always come back this way, to be closer to home. After dad found the job he wanted, as a start to his ultimate goal of having his own firm here in Southeast Idaho, we landed in Chubbuck, Idaho. Dad worked for a Legal Aid there, he then made his way to Firth, Idaho. He worked in Idaho Falls for awhile, then opened his own firm there in Firth, specializing in elder law. This is where I would live from about seventh grade until I left home to go on a mission and get married. Mom and dad still live there.
