I grew up on a dairy farm in Willard. My brothers, sister, and I always had lots of fun taking care of our animals, my favorite was our sheep. I have been married for 12 years and have 3 kids. We also have 2 cats and a dog. We enjoy weekly movie nights and daily pokemon hunts.

"Teacher Shaun"

I am Teacher Shaun and I work in the Ogden Classroom. I have been at NUAP for 9 years. I have been working with students and peers in Special Education since 6th grade and have been loving it ever since. I have lived my entire life in Utah. My family consists of my wife Emily and myself. I love to play video games, anything about Disney, go camping, and being outdoors. We like to go camping in the Uintah’s where we can ride ATVs, paddleboard, and go fishing. My dream other than working here is being able to go to Disneyland every other year for the rest of my life. My favorite food is black olive and cheese pizza and the other teachers in my room make fun of me for eating the “kid’s pizza.”

"Teacher Julie"

Hi I’m Julie a Teacher in the Ogden classroom. I have been with NUAP for 3 years and love every minute of what I do. Just seeing the smiles on the kiddos faces when they reach a goal or accomplish something new, makes every hard moment worth it. I have been married 19 years to my best friend Matt, and have 3 beautiful kids. Ashlyn (18), Kirstyn (15), and Ryker (9). We have a little dog Tika, and 4 chickens. My family and I love to travel. Our favorite place to visit is Hawaii. We also enjoy camping, fishing, hunting and motocross. When my family isn’t traveling we spend our time at soccer, baseball, dance, and violin practice.
