Master of Sports
-Throughout my life, I have been a sports fanatic. I am a huge fan of the Boston Red Sox, the Green Bay Packers, and the Utah Jazz. It is rare for me to be found not playing sports in my spare time, especially basketball and golf. I played baseball while in high school, and have learned to love pretty much any sport I have tried. I recently got into tennis after marrying a tennis fanatic, and have lots of fun playing, although she beats me every time!

Uncle Sam
-I love spending time with young kids and seeing how they interact with the world around them. It is for this reason that I want to become a pediatrician. I recently married into a family where I suddenly had 5 nephews and 2 nieces. They immediately took to loving me and playing all the time with me. Anyone who truly knows me understands how good I am with kids.

Doctor Sam
-I have a growing and developing fascination with the medical world and the scientific world behind the medical world. It started in high school, and has grown nearly daily since then. I had experiences with orthopedic surgeons in my high school athletic experience which led me to desire a physician's degree. That desire has only developed in my Physiology and Developmental Biology degree at BYU.

Sam the Studyer
-When not at work or out with my wife, I can often be found with my head in books and knee-deep in research. Since I joined my research lab in the life sciences, I've found a mechanism by which progression in Parkinson's disease can be limited and eventually halted, and hope to have further findings in that project.
