Jay attended Brigham Young University and now attends the University of Dayton School of Law. He has a background in a number of areas including sales management and civil litigation. His love for learning and new experiences has found him processing salmon in massive warehouses in Alaska, fundraising for the impoverished communities of Ecuador, serving as a missionary in Brazil, and much more.

Through it all, Jay’s favorite experience was marrying his wife Sarah. His story on why he joined Fatherhood Initiative is grounded on their future:

“I joined FI because I want to help others have what I had when I was young. I grew up with a present father who did his best to provide and participate. Some of my most fond memories were driving home from a baseball tournament or basketball game with my dad. His sacrifice and presence for his children cultivated a loving relationship that was evident in our family. I strive to follow his example and volunteer my time to prepare myself for fatherhood.”
