Davis High Class of '98 Now!



Rani (Goodspeed) Hiller
After graduating from Davis, I spent two years down at Dixie in St. George. After graduating from there, I transferred to the University of Utah and received a Bachelor's degree in Biology. I served a french speaking mission in the Belgium Brussels/Netherlands mission from 2002-2003. I married my sweetheart Andrew Hiller in June of 2005 and we live out in the Farmington Ranches. Andrew is from Farmington and a Davis alum also, class of 1994. I worked at ARUP Laboratories as a Medical Technologist until our sweet Claire was born on September 28, 2006. Since then, I have been at home with her, but I guess we really aren't home all that much. Andrew owns a scrapbooking manufacturing company and he travels all of the time. Claire and I don't like to stay home alone so we go along with him. We have traveled to Hong Kong, Hawaii, Mexico, Florida, California, New York, Belgium, France and London (some places multiple times). We are absolutely crazy about Claire and she keeps us running all of the time. Life is pretty great and I can't believe how fast ten years goes by.

Davis High Class of 98 Now!




Dallin Hutchinson
Life since graduating from dear old Davis High School has been awesome! I served an LDS mission to Melbourne, Australia in 1999. When I got home I went to work for SkyWest Airlines, and just happened to work alongside a fellow DHS Alum Bobby Webb. It was a great experience for two years, being able to frivolously travel the world for free and go to places throughout Asia, the Pacific, the United States and Europe. My time at SkyWest came to an end though when I was accepted into Brigham Young University in 2003.

I earned my bachelors degree in Urban, Rural and Environmental Planning and International Development at BYU. During my time there, and within months after the Asian Tsunami disaster n 2004, I was recruited by an organization to develop a planning strategy for the Indonesian government for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Aceh Province on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. I was working on the Indonesia project until 2006, when the University of Tasmania accepted me into their Master of Environmental Planning program. I'll be done in June 2008.

In the meantime, I am still living on the awesome island of Tasmania (not Tanzania) where I am working as a Community Planner for the local government, and exploring one of the most rugged landscapes on earth. I will likely be staying until April of 2009 when I complete my employment contract and receive citizenship, making me a dual-citizen of both the United States and the Australian Commonwealth.

It is so awesome to hear about everybody else's life and what you've been up to over the last decade. I'm looking forward to catching up with all of you at the reunion

Justin & Anna (Harris) Atwater
After graduating high school Justin served a mission in Paraguay and I moved to Provo to attend BYU. We were married in 2001 shortly after he returned home. We both received our undergraduate degrees from BYU, and soon after I began working at the Governor's Office where I stayed for over four years. Justin completed his Masters in Accountancy at BYU and then we moved into our home in Layton while he attended law school at the U of U. Justin graduated in May of 2007 and now works in Salt Lake as an attorney at the law firm of Durham Jones Pinegar. We have one little boy named Coleman (Justin's mini-me!), who will be two years old in June.

Davis High Class of '98 Now!



Jessica Shumway Sebag
After the fabulous years at DHS, I moved to Washington, DC to attend the George Washington University. I met my husband, Ronen, while I was there and we have now been married almost 6 years. Somehow in the past 8 years between our moves from DC to Austin and back to DC, we have both become teachers and are enjoying every minute of it! Ronen teaches at a senior high school in Washington, DC and I teach mathematics and implement professional development for an elementary school in Fairfax County School District in Virginia. We currently live in Alexandria, VA with our two cats Tex and Oz. We travel as often as possible and always make it to our summer home in West Kaysville (my parents' house) at least once or twice a year.

Davis High Class of '98 Now!


Well, after those fun-filled years at DHS, I married
my cute hubby, Nate Quist (who is also a Davis High
alum of '96)in 2000. We have three darling little
girls that we are crazy about. 4 1/2 year old Maren, 2
year old Brookie, and our latest addition of 1 month
old Claire. I think it's about time for another family
picture!!

We just haven't been able to get enough of a good
thing and made the LONG move from Kaysville to West
Kaysville with all the livestock. Nate is working in
Salt Lake with Merrill Lynch. And, as for me, I am
lucky enough to stay at home with my 3 best girlfriends!

Davis High Class of '98 Now!



Cory & Paige (Workman) Hill
Cory and I were married in June of 2001. After waiting for Cory for two long years while he served his mission in Spain, our wedding day couldn't come soon enough! After we were married, we rented a little duplex on Main St. in Kaysville, right across the street from "Dear old Davis High"! After about a year of apartment life, I had had enough and convinced Cory to build our first home! (about two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant!) We moved into our house in Clearfield in December of 2002. Kannon was born a month later on January 22, 2003. A little less than a year later, I found out I was pregnant AGAIN!! On, September 1, 2004 Ellie was born. Kannon and Ellie are best friends! They don't like to do anything without each other! Kannon, now 5 years old, loves going to preschool, and can't wait for kindergarten next year! Kannon also loves to play baseball, and to watch the Yankees with his dad! He loves basketball, the Jazz (especially Kyle Korver), snowmobiling, swimming, and anything else outside! Ellie is so ready to go to preschool, and can't understand why she can't stay at school with Kannon. She is our social butterfly! She loves to talk and talk to anyone who will listen. She loves to dance and tumble. She also likes to snowmobile, swim, go boating, and pretty much anything else her big brother likes to do!
Cory started working at Industrial Container right after returning home from his mission. Luckily for us, he was able to move up quickly in the company. He works as a outside sales rep, and loves his job. I graduated from beauty school not long before Cory returned home. After having two kids, I am lucky enough to work at my salon in our home.
Cory and I decided it was time to find a home where we could establish some roots. In October 2006 we bought our home in east Layton. We couldn't be happier with where we are. Cory and I love to go and do anything fun together! We love to snowmobile, swim, go boating, and ride his motorcycle together! We are very adventurous and love to try new things. We also enjoy camping, and the drive in. (even with kids, we still have fun at the drive in!) Cory enjoys cycling and hiking with his brother and his dad. I have discovered a love for running and have enjoyed participating in races all over the state!
We are loving being parents and raising our little family. Kannon and Ellie are working hard to convince their parents to have a new baby live at our house! To be continued...

Davis High Class of '98 Now!


Once again....a hilarious spotlight! Written by Doug Timothy himself...
So, I work for a company that shoots missiles at interplanetary satellites that are visiting different moons and planets in our solar system. Good crap, Layne! Thanks for making all our jobs seem like preschool.

My family just moved from Phoenix to Minneapolis where I recently started working for Target. My group supports the credit and debit card arm of Target with their technology projects. It’s all earth bound stuff, nothing out of this world like others from our class (Layne “job ruiner” Caldwell).

About 2 ½ years ago I somehow convinced the beautiful Darci Racker (Michael Bullard’s cousin) to marry me. We have one little 8 month old boy, Ladd, and I can’t get enough of him. I’m currently teaching Ladd the Davis High fight song and hope to have him ready to sing next time we’re in Utah.

Thanks to all that are keeping this blog going, it’s great to hear how everyone is doing.

Davis High Class of '98 Now!




Layne Caldwell wrote a great spotlight....so funny!! So we thought we would just put exactly what he wrote!

So a little about us: We are living in San Jose and I have a job working for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at the Ames Research Center in Mountain View. I'm with a team working on the launch of an interplanetary satellite that will visit 6 other planets on our solar system and a couple of the moons of Jupiter. Pretty neat stuff. As you might be able to tell from the picture, I married Kirsten Dunst. After the Spider-Man movies we decided to get married and have a bunch of kids. (Actually I married Jami Valentine from DHS class of 2000.) We are the proud owners of a two-year-old boy, Trenton, and six-month-old twin girls: Raegan and Sadie. I bet that might come as a shocker to some, but it is my reality. Life is pretty stinkin' good.
