My wife's name is Hope and we have two girl, Emry (4) and Eden (2). We also have a baby boy due in March.

Balancing the last year, with my wife's pregnancy, a miscarriage before that, spending quality time with my kids, serving in my church, working full-time with a long commute, and still being able to put in quality training.

In 2015, during my first year at BYU, I had some serious blood clots that almost killed me. Both of my lungs were mostly collapsed. I lost about 15% of my body weight and I was in the ICU for a week. I was so weak I hardly had the strength to walk. The recovery from that was very tough. When I was finally able to walk far enough to leave my hospital room, I got about 10 feet down the hall and had to sit down for several minutes to catch my break and regain my strength. A few days later I was able to do about a 100-foot loop while my almost 90-year-old grandpa pulled along my oxygen tank. Little by little my strength came back, but it took several years for my lungs to really feel like they were back to normal.
