Personal

I was raised in the shadows of Mount Timpanogos in Charleston, Utah.

I graduated from Wasatch High School in 1996, and served an LDS mission in Nagoya, Japan.
 

I consider my family my greatest asset.

I married Amber Hoelzer in 1999.

We have 3 children: Parker (9), Eden (7) and Acasia (4), and are expecting our 4th child in September.
 

 

I enjoy the outdoors, and love to snow ski, wakeboard and hike in the Wasatch Range. I enjoy running in the early morning and playing with my kids.

I am an avid BYU football fan.

 

Volunteer

 

Each week, on Thursday afternoons I have the unique and amazing  opportunity to volunteer at the Maliheh Free Clinic at 415 East & 3900 South in Salt Lake City providing foot care to those without insurance.

 

If you have never heard about this clinic, please take a minute to view

their website and if possible, make a donation.

 

 

 I currently serve as Clinical Director for

HEALTHY ATHLETES: FIT FEET

for the Special Olympics of Utah.

This is an amazing event held twice a year:
Each spring at Brigham Young University
Each fall at the University of Utah

If you are interested in having an experience you will cherish for the rest of your life, please contact me for volunteer information.
