Tyler Stevens
After High School I went to Weber State for a year before serving a mission in Italy. My wife Lindsay and I met in a music theory class at Weber State before my mission. We were just friends before my mission but started dating about a year after coming home and we were married 6 months later. After serving in Italy, I sold alarms in Portland and Chicago for three summers to help pay for school. Our first son Drew was born on my birthday in Chicago in 2004. He is now almost 4. After graduating from Weber State in Technical Sales we moved to Las Vegas to work for Pulte Homes. Our son Cameron was born in Vegas and is now 16 months old. We lived there nearly 3 years and never really liked the heat. Last September we decided to move back home and now live in Kaysville. Mat Shaw (also a 98' alumni) and I have been close friends since high school and decided to start up a business together last fall. We own a contingent sales management company that works with builders to manage a moving incentive for contingent buyers. Confusing, I know. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.

After graduating from DHS with a year of early college under my belt from good old Weber State, I started on the path to becoming a pharmacist at the University of Utah. After a year of treading the shark-infested waters that is the pre-med/pre-pharmacy experience, I threw in the basic sciences towel and decided I might want to try out a communications major. I failed to develop an interest in public relations and broadcast journalism, but I finally found my niche with print journalism. This was the perfect major for me, and I really enjoyed my classes. Especially the editorial writing classes where I found I had a knack for writing tirades on various political themes. I have never had a problem expressing myself, as my mother will tell you.

Meanwhile, I met my handsome husband, with blue eyes and brown curly hair and the best sense of humor I have ever encountered in a human being. We get along really well because we are both geeks. He was an anesthesiology resident at the University, and the more I heard him talk about his job as a doctor, the more I knew that I would regret it if I didn't at least apply to medical school. Luckily, the University of Utah doesn't mind people who major in writing and take 6 years to complete their BA. I started medical school in 2003, graduated in 2007, and I am just finishing up an internship at the new behemoth Intermountain Medical Center (affectionately known as the Death Star when hospital executives aren't prowling the halls). The highlight of my internship was spending a month in South Africa on a neuropathology rotation. I spent some time working with cadaver brains and went on a weekend safari with my hubby to celebrate our 5th anniversary.

I am moving to North Carolina at the end of June to complete a residency and fellowship in radiology at Duke University Medical Center. Only 5 more years of school! If you ever need somebody to analyze your insides and point out all the weird stuff in your tummy or brain, I'm your girl. Just remember, you never want to be a "really interesting case."

When not working 80 hours a week taking care of all the sweet little old ladies in Utah, my husband, Michael Tielborg, and I enjoy hiking with our two adopted pound puppies (Maggie and Lucy), camping, snowboarding, golfing, traveling and eating really good food wherever we can find it.

Sorry I will be missing the reunion this year. Hope to see you all at our 20th!

Tara (Mayhue) Larsen
It is so crazy to me that it has been 10 years. It's so fun reading how some of you are doing now, but where are the rest of you? I'm so sad that I lost touch with almost everyone. As for me, after graduation I started attending Weber State. In the summer of 2000 I was set up on a blind Date with Derek Larsen, a Weber High Alum. He had just completed his LDS mission to Chicago (spanish speaking), and was preparing to return for his 2nd year at Ricks College. Our dating and engagement were long distance, he in Idaho, I in Utah. After we both completed our associates degrees in May 2001 we were married in the Bountiful temple. Derek received his Bachelors Degree from Weber State, and was hired by the the LDS Church as a Seminary Teacher in Dec of 2003. I love that my husband is a seminary teacher, it is a fun reminder of old High School days. We moved to the amazing community of Thatcher AZ, where Derek teaches at both Thatcher High, and Pima High Seminaries. Derek also just completed his Masters Degree, and I am blessed to stay at home with our kids. We have two sweet daughters. Holley was born in December of 2002, and will start kindergarten in the fall. Brinley came to our family in September of 2006 and is such a fun 20 month old. My family is my world, and I can't get enough of them. Check out my blog for pictures, and more of what I'm up to. http://derektaralarsen.blogspot.com/ See you in a month!

Rorie (Pyper) Gilmore
Hello everyone! I can't believe it has been 10 years. Where does the time go? Well, after high school I attended Weber State starting out in Elementary Ed. I married Steve Gilmore, Davis grad. of '96, in September of '99. We had our first baby born August 23,2000. Her name is Katie and she will be going into the 3rd grade. On December 16, 2002 we had our second baby. His name is Rylan and he will be going into kindergarten. Shortly after Rylan was born Steve graduated from Weber State and was commissioned into the Air Force. We were surprisingly stationed at Hill AFB for 3 years. While we were at Hill I completed my CNA certificate. Shortly after we decided to buy our first house in, yes, Kaysville. Kylie was born on October 21, 2005. We then moved to Colorado Springs, Co. (Schriever AFB) June of 2006, which we are currently living. On January 3, 2008 baby #4, Joshua, was born. I love being a mom even though it is a 24\7 job. I read a news article that said if stay-at-home mothers were to receive a salary, they would be making roughly $120,000 a year. I disagree. I would say that it would be much higher ;). In June Steven will be receiving his MBA. I'm very proud of him, but it is a big stress relief for me. I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you at the reunion. See you in July!!!

Kara (Alexander) Agresta
So what has Kara Alexander-Agresta been doing for the past 10 years? After high school I left the comforts of Utah and headed East. There I attended Merrimack College where I majored in soccer and minored in partying. Along the way I managed to obtain a degree in Sports Medicine. After graduation I traveled throughout Australia for 4 wks, did some research, and then returned back to Boston. I stayed in the Boston area for an additional year to play and work of course, then returned to Utah. I then followed up at the University of Utah to obtain my graduate degree. In the middle of graduate school my husband, Matthew, was lucky enough to have found me! We recently wed this past September on Cape Cod and honeymooned on Nantucket Island. That is why I am posting a wedding picture. I am currently working as a Physicians Assistant in Heart Failure and Transplant at Intermountain Medical Center and my husband is a Family Physician in West Valley. We are very busy with our dog, Alta, who is our pride and joy. She joins us for biking, skiing, running, swimming and camping. Much to our chagrin she also enjoys chewing up our new sprinkler system! Matt and I currently live in SLC and have enjoyed all the outdoor fun to be had. In addition we are frequently visiting the East coast to see friends and family and hope to eventually move back, but for now, we are enjoying what Utah has to offer.

Greetings to all of you. It's amazing that it has been ten years now since we have all graduated from dear old Davis High School.

These last ten years for me have been busy just like everyone else. I served my mission in Charlotte, North Carolina. I have worked in many various job positions getting ideas of what I want to do with myself. I'm still active with my running. I have ran three marathons since high school St.George, Logan and Boston. I plan on running two more this summer. I met my wife Faith through my younger brother who attended EFY up at Weber St. She was my brothers counselor. Yes it was a blind date and you all know how blind dates are, awkward and uncomfortable at least for me. We both got to know each other pretty well and had fun playing twenty questions on the first date. Less than a year later we were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on May 26, 2006 and we are greatful to have one another. Then almost two years later on February 26, 2008 we were blessed to have a little baby girl who we named Aine. She is such a sweetheart and brings joy and happiness into our lives. We currently reside in downtown Salt Lake. I am currently going to school at LDS Business College. I am working towards my Associates degree in Business Information Technology. Other than that I am enjoying life with my family. Look forward to seeing you all in July.

Amy (Miller) Mahmood
10 years have went by way to fast and when I think of what that means in my life it amazes me. I finally have a few minutes to write this as I finish up my Saturday morning coffee before we start on our chores.

As I look back on the last 10 years I can remember illness, loss, divorce and sadness, but then I remember God is good and there was also love, laughter, friendship and happiness.

I married my husband Jeremy in July 2002 and, after 2 years of trying, he finally moved me out of Davis County and we made Herriman our home. We absolutely love raising our family, Devin (10) Cayden (6) Bryan (3) and Girl #1 due in June, and our two dogs, Toby (the Thousand Pound Beagle) and Chica (aka Vicious the Mutt) here and have no plans of leaving. In addition to helping raise our family I work at DeltaValve, an industrial valve manufacture in the Oil & Gas Industry, and my husband manages Eagle Finance and will be going back to school this fall. On the side we own a daycare in Riverton, which is our retirement plan.

Even though there are no LDS missions in our family, our life revolves around God and family. We are part of a church plant in Herriman and enjoy spending time fellowshipping with other members of our church and reaching out to the community.

Jacob Shapiro
After High school I hung out for a year before serving in the New York, New York North mission. I came home in June 2001, and married Becky Callahan (class of 97) in January 2002. We moved to Bountiful, I worked full time at a wood Mill, and attended Salt Lake Community College in Mechanical Engineering at night. In May 2004 our son Logan was born. We moved a lot, but stayed in Bountiful. In 2005 I took a 3d class and loved it so much I changed majors at school to Computer Graphics, quit my job, and started drafting (for experience in architecture so I could increase my chances of getting hired at a firm). After 8 months I started working at Bowen Studios as a Architectural Illustrator (if you want to, check out our website www.bowenstudios.com). In 2007 we moved to our house in Centerville, I finished school and was promoted to Project Manager. In October our daughter Hope joined the family, and now we are just enjoying life.

Kent & Maria (Watkins) Phippen
I guess after months of perusing everyone else's blogs and bios, it is finally our turn, however we prefer reading the spotlights, rather than being in them!
>
> Maria and I, like so many other 98 grads, got married after I returned home from my mission to Geneva Switzerland. (Thanks to my persistence I might add…Maria did try to 'Dear John' me on two occasions.) About one week after we were married we boxed up all our wedding stuff and moved to London where Maria was finishing her final year at the Royal Academy of Music. I was fortunate to go along for the ride! Maria had already spent 3 years there at school and 1 year in Prague with her parents who were serving as mission presidents. While Maria was studying I worked for a healthcare company based in Windsor and I absolutely loved it! London was good to us and to this day Maria still says that she has to go to the 'loo', not the bathroom.
>
> We moved back to Utah after Maria graduated and did various things over the next couple years. I started school back up at the University of Utah majoring in Finance, no wait, Business Admin, hold on a sec, Business Mgt, and a final change to Entrepreneurship. Ultimately I just want to work for myself. I finally just graduated this last fall….yep it only took me 10 years! The line from Tommy Boy comes shouting back here…so what took so long? In the meantime we had 2 beautiful girls. Emma who is now 3 and Claire who is 18 months. They definitely keep us on our toes! I worked full time initially for Infinity Mortgage Company doing Marketing, then moved into the real estate development world for a couple years, and now have finally decided that I ought to use that new degree and go out on my own. I'll be opening Go Motors next week. Maria started teaching immediately when we got back from London and her studio has grown like crazy over the years. She teaches about 30 students out of our home and we feel lucky that she can do that while still having the girls close by. When she's not teaching she's gigging around town….you may catch her at Pioneer Memorial, at Ballet West, or on an occasional Music and the Spoken Word. I'm just trying to keep up with her and the other 4 children we have – the harps! We now live in Farmington and have for about 4 years. We love it here and enjoy bumping into other classmates often…(even if we don't always remember their names!)

Chris & Annie (Miya) Williams
Chris and I have now been together for over a decade. It's crazy how old we are getting! During our senior year of high school we attended WSU. I graduated with a BS in English/Art Teaching in 2001, and an MEd in 2005; Chris graduated with a BFA in 2002. I am finishing up my sixth year as a junior high English teacher (at Syracuse Jr. High), and Chris currently works as a stock broker for Fidelity Investments.

We have lived in Syracuse for the last five years. We've been working hard, playing hard, and loving life with our beautiful 18 month old daughter, Maiki.

Joy (Wilson) Boaz
I can't believe it has been 10 years. Well, since graduating from Dear old Davis High I received my Dental Assisting diploma and worked in a Dental office in Farmington. I attended Weber and also worked part time at Oakridge Country Club where I met My Husband Aaron Boaz. We dated for almost 2 years and were finally married October 2001. Aaron had a daughter from a previous marriage and so I was instant mommy which I loved. Aaron was finishing his nursing degree at Weber and in January of 2003 we had our first son Luke. Two years later we had our second son Zachary. They are so fun and I am lucky enough to stay home and take care of the rugrats. Aaron is a rep for a Pace Maker company. We live I Syracuse and are loving life. I can't wait to reunite with all of you this summer.

Jocelyn (Newman) Tanner

Hello from Boise Idaho. It doesn't seem like I am that far from my home town so I keep hoping that I will run into someone from High School. Five Years in Idaho and I still haven't had that experience. Strange, I know.

I am finding it difficult to sum up the last ten years. Here we go: School, kids, job hunting, school, mortgage, kids, school, 10 extra lbs, job hunting. Did I miss anything? It's been a crazy adventure – but a fabulous one. I have a wonderful husband – Trevor and three cute girls: Kamber (7), Elaina (5), Abigail (2).

The last ten years have taught me one thing about myself. I am completely motivated by fun. (Maybe that's why I wasn't Valedictorian!) There isn't time enough in a day for the fun things I'd like to cram in. Anyone else out there share this problem? I hope so……..I need some validation because a little voice in the back of my head keeps telling me to grow up!!

Well, that's it! I'm sending this cheesy tidbit out to Davis Dart Cyber Space………
It's great to read up on everyone's last ten years. Thank You to the group that put this blog together.

Travis Hirschi
In case you forgot…
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally I tred water for three days in a row. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook 30 min brownies in 20 min. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Paraguay (that is a whole other story). I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I bat .400. The laws of physics do not apply to me. Children trust me. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. Using only a hoe (garden implement) and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I have played Hamlet, performed open-heart surgery, and spoken with Elvis. But I have yet to hear from any of you!

In between doing all that, I served a mission in the Brasil, Londrina Mission (98-00) along side several other Darts (Merrick Jackson, John Treu & Brady Platt). Upon returning home I started my studies at Weber State during that time I meet my beautiful and wonderful wife, Megan Richter from Bountiful. We were married in Aug '02. I transferred to the University of Utah and graduated….. We stay busy with our 2 beautiful children Samantha ('03) and Benson ('07). We also stay busy building a business, an Insurance Agency for American Family Insurance in Centerville, UT. "You can visit my website www.travishirschi.com or call 801-292-0950 for a free no obligation quote on your personal or business insurance needs."

We are living the dream and loving it.

PS – That first paragraph was a joke – part of it was a joke, okay I don't write operas…..yet.

Daniel Henderson
Daniel Henderson here! It's fun to read about everyone here. After graduating, I spent one year in Baton Rouge, Louisiana studying jazz trumpet at LSU before serving a mission to North Carolina. I finished my degree at BYU and married Michelle, who is from Seattle, WA (and is a yummy but dangerous pirate, as shown above).

We moved to Boston, MA, three years ago to do my Master's degree in jazz composition at the New England Conservatory of Music. We love Boston! Here, we had our boy Logan, who is now two. We're living in Boston for a couple more years while I stay at the Conservatory to work on my Doctorate degree in jazz composition, and to do a Teaching Fellowship at Harvard University (teaching jazz history). I'm also having fun playing my trumpet and singing with lots of jazz bands around Boston. We live close to the beach and downtown, so we love exploring the city and learning its history. I hope to be in touch with old friends soon!

Kristy (Perkins) Jensen
Dee and I met after he returned from serving a mission to London England. Well, it was more like re-meeting. We actually grew up in the same ward. It was only about two weeks after our first date that he asked if he could take me ring shopping. We fell head over heels in love! (I know it sounds cheesy but how else do you describe it?) We were married August 7th, 1999. Dee works full time and goes to school full time too; he will have his MBA at the end of this year. He has sacrificed so much to go back to school-we LOVE him! He works for Intermountain Healthcare in the supply chain contracting and finance department at the corporate office in Salt Lake. So all dressed up he goes in the morning, and from his desk he’s living his dream and working hard on making all our other dreams come true! We have been blessed with two AMAZING children, Taycie-7 and Tanner-2. I am finally so lucky to be home with them 100 % after spending time on-again off-again in the workforce. They never slow down and manage to make very big messes. Taycie asks me questions until my head hurts. Tanner likes to climb on, and then jump off, everything. I never knew kids could cause so much trouble-and bring so much joy and love into your life all at the same time. It’s been absolutely wonderful being a mom and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. And lastly, we have moved from Layton BACK to Kaysville three different times. Always knowing Kaysville was HOME. So now we have really settled and are here to STAY for sure. Taycie is finishing the first grade and we are really excited for summer. Parks, picnics, swimming, and play, play, PLAY! See you all in July!!

Liz (Mueller) Knighton
After High Schoool I went to the University of Utah as a Modern Dance major, but eventually decided that wasn't the degree I wanted so I transfered up to Weber State. I met my husband Matt in 1999 and we got married in 2000. We lived in Clearfield for a while and while we were there we had two daughters, Shelby who is 7, and Amelia who is 5. In 2003 we moved to Atlanta Georgia where my husband works for Delta Airlines as a VP of IT. In 2004 we had our third Daughter Audry, and in 2007 we had our 4th daughter Sophia. I am lucky enough to get to stay home with my 4 beautiful girls. We keep busy traveling all around. This picture is from our latest trip to St. Thomas.
We are hoping to be able to make it to the reunion this summer, it is so fun to read what everyone has been up to the last 10 years, can't wait to see everyone and catch up!

Dan Hill
Hey, gang. It’s been cool reading up on everyone. Man, we’re getting old. Well, I have some time to write this paragraph tonight because I’m hiding out in my hotel room on a business trip. There is a drag queen cabaret in the lobby/bar, so I don’t really want to leave my room. If any of you have become drag queens since graduation, I hope I haven’t just offended you. I’m not passing judgment. I’m sure Michelle (the lingerie-wearing man that invited me to the show) is a very nice person. He just makes me feel uncomfortable.

So anyway, on to my life: After Davis I went to BYU for a year, lost my scholarship skiing and sleeping in and not going to class, and then went on an LDS mission to the Connecticut Hartford mission. I came home and went back to BYU. This time I was more disciplined and did ok. In 2004 I married Jamie Jensen, the sister of a mission companion. Our marriage is great. My mom always told me marriage was hard. So far it’s been easy. She’s a great fit for me--really funny, artistic, musical, and a good dancer. She loves me a lot but is embarrassed by my musical and dancing talent. I always knew I was bad at that stuff, but she has me convinced that I’m more likely partially retarded.

Around the time I married Jamie, Tanner Bell and I started Backroad Events (now Ragnar Events) and the Wasatch Back Relay (now Ragnar Relay – Wasatch Back). It’s basically a 180-mile, 12-person, running relay race. It’s more about the party than the running. The race did well and grew. Tanner and I quit our jobs and started a national series called the Ragnar Relay Series. This year we have 7 races, all similar to the original, with races in Arizona, Washington State, Minnesota/Wisconsin, the Washington D.C. area, Texas, and Florida. We have 11 employees.

On October 23rd Jamie and I had our first son, Max Jackson Hill. He’s 7 months old now, and his personality is starting to show through. He’s very smiley and happy. He loves to smile at strangers, and he laughs a lot. I can’t believe how much I love him. People always talk about how much they love their kids. It really is impossible to understand until you have your own.

Well that’s about it. Thanks for updating me on your lives and letting me update you. It’s going to be fun to see everyone in July.
