I attended elementary and middle school in Everett Washington.  While in school, I particpated in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts.  My family moved to Snohomish, where I earned my Eagle award just before graduation from high school.  In 2005, I became the Assistant Den Leader, when my son joined Cub Scouts.  Since then, I have served in pack, troop, district and council level leadership positions.
