After graduation I served a mission for the LDS church in the Philippines. I became fluent in Tagalog and can declare that I ate like a native. Balut anyone?

After my mission I wasted a few years moving around, doing some classes here and there, selling security systems, and working different jobs. Finally, I decided to pursue a career in design drafting with the goal of becoming an architect. I graduated with my design drafting degree from ISU in 2006. Right after that I turned around and decided to go back to school to become a teacher and a coach. While attending Idaho State, I played 4 years of NCAA club baseball and still try to play on any team I can find. I have one year left until I graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education with a major of History and a minor in Business Education.

In May of 2005, I married my beautiful wife, Katherine Moses (Lisa’s little sister). She just graduated from Pharmacy school and is now working as a Pharmacist at Ridley’s in Rupert.
Kaleb Adam Hope was born in June of 2009. He is the happiest and best son anyone could ask for. He is 13 months now and learning new things every day like walking, pointing to where his nose is, and how to steer a car (don’t worry it’s not moving).

In September of 2009 we moved back to Burley to help with Katherine’s dad who passed away from cancer and have been happy to stay close. We just bought our first home and love it. There is nothing better than finally having a space to call your own. We hope to stay in the area when I graduate next year and hope to get a teaching job at Burley High School if at all possible.
