The Family History
Mike and Cheryl met and married in Idaho and very quickly started their family nine months later with the birth of their first son, Kenneth Dean (Ken). Moving to Boise, Idaho, the family continued to grow with the additional births of Michael Scott (Scott) and David Wayne. In time, the family moved to the state of Iowa to attend Palmer Chiropractic School and increased their family with the birth of Shanna Lynn.
More on Mike
With the birth of David, Mike wanted to do more in helping people physically feel better and decided to do this by becoming a Chiropractor. He learned that he would need to attend Palmer Chiropractic School in Des Moines, Iowa, and after 6 years graduated with his degree in chiropractices. He started out working for various doctors in Missouri than Colorado, but none of those worked out for him as hoped. He started his own practice in Wheatridge, Colorado and worked there until the spring of 2007 when he and Cheryl moved back to Idaho for four years. Then in 2011, they moved back to Fruita, Colorado with a practice in Nucla, Colorado.
Since moving back to Colorado, he has enjoyed the warmer climate and spends time reading, studying, hiking with his dogs, and serving in the Monticello Temple in Monticello, Utah.
More on Cheryl
For several years after the marriage, Cheryl spent time raising family and supporting her husband as he went to school and he attempted his employment as a chiropractor. She obtained her associates degree from Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho) and as the family got older, which gave her more time on her hands, Cheryl decided to get her bachelors degree in Family and Consumer Sciences from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado while they lived in Brighton and Lockbuie, Colorado. With her degree, she began teaching at a high school level in Colorado until the summer of 2006. Then that fall and after moving to Idaho, Cheryl began working for Marsh Valley High School.
Since moving back to Colorado, Cheryl continues to teach at the local high school level. She also enjoys bike riding, putting puzzles together, and spending time with family.
