Elden's Story
Life
After graduation from TJ, I attended one year at RickÂs College (now BYU Idaho) where I was introduced to my future wife, Julie Killpack, a native of Utah. After serving a mission for the Mormon Church, I married Julie and moved to Provo Utah to finish my schooling at Brigham Young University. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in photography. Our first daughter, Natalie, was born shortly after graduation. She was born on Christmas day and we later found out that the name Natalie means, ÂLittle one born on ChristmasÂ. As of 2007 she is a Junior at BYU-Idaho. We moved back to Olympia Washington where I worked as a sales representative for Keebler Company. Our second daughter, Jenny, was born in Washington.

il consumer products and we moved back to Utah. Our first son, Taylor, was born then. After two years with Benckiser, I was hired by Tennant Company, an international equipment manufacturer and am now an Senior Account Manager/Commerecial Manager for that company. Through many work related sales trips, we have been able to travel around the country and to many fun places including Hawaii, several Caribbean islands, Costa Rica and the Bahamas. In 1996 we built a house in West Jordan Utah. Since 1996, we have added one more son, Jared and one more daughter, Amy, to our family. Julie is able to stay at home and be a mom to our children, which we both have enjoyed. In 2004 I started doing some real estate investing and have owned several homes around the US. Recently I have found new interests in road biking and rappelling. I would love to hear from any of the TJ grads.
