Bio of Bryan Stephens

Family: Married Jeanette Knighton. We have six children: Jason 23, Julie 21, Sheri 18, Kailynn 17, Emily 14, Allen 13. Jason served in the Chile Antofagasta mission and had some wonderful experiences. He is attending Weber State in Ogden studying Chemistry and Physics. Julie is a senior at Weber State and is driving us nuts as we are waiting for her mission call. She will graduate with top honors academically after she returns. She is studying Microbiology and Chemistry. Sheri is just starting her first year of college at Utah State. She is looking at studying either Landscape Architecture or Elementary Education. Fortunately, they all have scholarships and have excelled in academics. Kailynn is a senior in high school and is taking some college courses concurrently to get a jump on her nursing career. She is the family sanguine and will make anything fun and enjoyable. Emily is in 9th grade and works the hardest of any of the kids in school. Allen is in 8th grade and also does real well. All sing in choirs, play the piano and have studied the violin thanks to a musically talented mom.

Church: I am serving as Scoutmaster again and love it. I have to go camping, fishing and hiking to magnify my calling. It’s a rough deal. I served for 12 years in the Young Men’s before being side tracked into callings as clerks, Elder Quorums, Bishoprics etc. and am relieved to be back in the Young Men’s.

Education: Graduated from BYU.

Work: Taught Junior High for 13 years and now work as a software developer for the school district.

Community: Enjoy harassing the mayor and city council members every time they think they have to raise taxes to keep up with the Joneses.
