JACOB PLUID

After graduation I worked for a year then left for an LDS mission to Florianopolis Brazil where I lived for two years. The island was beautiful and I miss it very much. In the spring of 2002, during the Winter Olympics, I started attending the University of Utah in Salt Lake City studying Biology. There I started dating my wife and we were married the next spring. In March,2004 we had our first boy, Austin Blake. I then transfered to Utah State University in Logan where I graduated in the spring of 2007 with a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry and Portuguese. Our second son, Chase Byron, was born in January of 2007. We then moved from Logan, Utah to Des Moines, Iowa that fall where I began medical school at Des Moines University.
