Here's my introduction:
How did you get your moniker?
Like ex'dute, I don't really care for my boardname anymore. I wish I could start new, but then I'd have to do that whole build rapport and make friends thing that I'm not very good at. I used the name when I joined uf.n back in 08, at the time I was a newlywed, living in Orem, working in South Jordan and commuting to the U while my wife attended UVU. I have since gotten out of the black cloud of misery (I'm speaking of Orem, not marriage), those were some awful years.
Where are you from? What do you do?
I was born and raised in Ogden, and after moving away for a mission, living in SL and Orem, I am back in Ogden. Funny how that works. I work in procurement and contracts going on 4 years for the DoD.
What are your sports loyalties?
U-T-E-S
I am a pretty avid NFL fan, 49ers. Who's got it better than we do (except maybe the Ravens)?
I used to play baseball growing up but interest for the sport has really wained, as has my interest in basketball.
I really enjoy fitness and weightlifting even though they are not team sports. I enjoy the challenge of competing against myself to set new personal records.
Why are you a Ute fan?
I was raised a BYU fan. I started attending Utah games when I was a student at the U, and fell in love and have never looked back. I am virtually surrounding by BYU fans in my family but Utah is the place for me.
Are you religiously affiliated, and if so, what is your current standing? What about politics?
I am LDS. Currently I am serving as the Assistant Deacons quorom advisor. I don't mind the boys teaching monthly, but despise Scouts and the Scouting program in general. I had bad experiences with the Scouts as a youth (not those kind) and was virtually forced to attend scouts against my will. I have very little interest in the outdoors or camping or any of that, so asking me to spend my time off in an environment I am not comfortable with and asking me to be liable for the safety of various youth is absolutely absurd. Also, I don't agree with the Scouts current stand on homosexuals. I guess that's a topic for another time though.
I am political but don't necessarily associate myself with a party. Although, if I had to declare, I'm probably more liberal than I am conservative.
Any other questions, ask away.
