I am a full-time Church Service Missionary on the Lean Learning Team of the Patron and Partner Services Division of FamilySearch. Originally from California, I have a BA degree from BYU. I've been an avid genealogist and a computer hobbyist since my college days My first Church Service mission was from my computer in my bedroom in California for the FamilySearch Call Center. I have been with the Lean Learning Team here in Utah for 1 ½ years. My office is in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on South Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. I now conveniently live behind the Conference Center and walk to my office each day.

3. Lean Learning Team of the Patron & Partner Services Division of FamilySearch
Mission Statement:
The Lean Learning team is a group of genealogists and computer programmers. We study customer problems, research obstacles and suggest minimum viable solutions for FamilySearch.
We build, iterate, and measure the impact of solutions that enable Church members to find deceased relatives and qualify them for temple ordinances.
We then share our learnings with FamilySearch teams and partners in order to help them deliver scalable solutions through marketing, software, training, and customer service.
