Troy’s family moved to Washington County when he was 7, and Kim’s family followed when she was 14. They first met at Pine View High School in St. George, Utah, where they became close friends.

After Troy returned from military basic training, that friendship quickly turned into a whirlwind romance. On just the third day, Troy asked Kim to marry him. Shortly after, they began their life together with a military assignment in Germany.

Recently, Troy and Kim celebrated 32 years together and are proud parents of two children, a daughter, 30, and a son, 27 and continue to call Washington County home.
