He graduated from BYU with a bachelor’s degree in nursing and was later accepted to the nurse anesthesia program in Minneapolis. He graduated in 1993 and began his practice in Kalamazoo, Mich. The family relocated to Auburn in 1996 and he began working at the

Enumclaw hospital. He also worked in Federal Way, Silverdale, Renton and Bellevue. The family moved in 2000 to Buckley where he and a few friends created a classic rock cover band, The Maine Event.
