Two sisters, Jordan (older) and Kendall (younger) – Jordan has three boys, Kendall has one girl. Jordan lives in Mead, likes to spend time playing Spiderman and soccer with my nephews.

Sports background, proudest moment and most humbling defeat: Played lots of sports growing up including baseball, soccer, football, track, cross country and wrestling. Was AAU wrestling state champ at 65 pounds in fifth grade; two-time All-State high school soccer, proudest of winning 110-meter hurdles state championship in senior year. Humbling defeat was overtime loss in first round of the state soccer tournament as the No. 1 seed during a snow storm.
 
Hobbies: I enjoy playing pick-up sports and going on hikes. I coach youth soccer for United SC, playing video games – like to attend concerts at Red Rocks and attend Nuggets, Broncos, Rapids and Rockies games (but will cheer for the Phillies).
 
Favorite trip: In third grade, my dad took my older sister and me to Disneyland while he was on a work trip, and we got to spend three days in the park by ourselves and ordering all the room service we wanted.
