Brian Pearce

He gets the "best husband in the world" award! He helps influence me to be the best "me" I can be and reach for the stars.

Layne & Kelly Nielsen

 I owe so much to them. Read more about them and their influence on me here.

Dan & Jen 

My partners in crime! I don't know where I'd be without such great siblings :) Greatly thanks to them, I had a great childhood!

Danielle, Megan, & Andrea

My best friends! We've been through a lot together. Even though we don't all live near each other anymore, every time I talk to them it seems like we've never been apart!

Jesus 

My #1 role model who I hope influences my actions every single day!

Lee and Meg Donaldson

Best mission president and mission "mom" in the world! I survived the most difficult 18 months of my life with their help :)

Grandparents

Even though we never lived close to them, I always felt their influence on my life. Such wonderful examples of love, faith, and service!

Whoever invented ice cream. 

Enough said.

Tamara Leese

Probably my most inspirational teacher. She taught me to believe in myself, the good the world has, and in others.

Sister "B" (Bradford)

She inspired me to be an interesting and good person. Best Sunday school teacher ever!
