In Logan, he became friends with Aggie basketball great Spencer Nelson, and they entered the Missionary Training Center on the same day. Later, they became real estate partners for a small business based in Logan, Utah.

Bush Institute’s school leadership team to help school districts effectively recruit, retain, and develop K-12 principals and administrators. In addition to education.
