Born and Raised-Crystal was born in Salt Lake but raised in Fillmore, Utah. She was very active in high school playing volleyball and basketball, running track, and being part of student government. She even did FFA even though she didn’t live on a farm. She and Jamie lived in St. George while he played baseball for SUU. Afterwards, they moved to Florida, but Crystal wanted to move closer to home; however, she didn’t want the snow, so they moved here.
Schooling and Career- Crystal went to SUU and graduated with a major in biology and a minor in PE. In Florida, she worked at a YMCA doing fitness classes for all age groups, but she especially loved working with kids! She started teaching PE at a private school but wanted to be able to teach in a classroom, so she went back to school at Santa Fe College to get her elementary certification. She taught 5th grade in Florida and then taught elementary PE in Alpine when they moved back to Utah. She is currently working as a computer aide at Bloomington Elementary, but she’s hoping to get a full-time teaching job next year!
How they met- Crystal and Jamie met at SUU where he played baseball, and she was an athletic trainer. They saw each other quite often because of this and because they were both science majors, but they didn’t start dating until after Crystal graduated. They will have been married for 16 years in December.
Family- They have 3 kids: DJ is 13, HALLE is 10, & ADDISON 7.
Hobbies and favorites- Crystal loves to read! She also gardens but isn’t sure how to do it here in St. George. She loves to play and watch almost any sport. In fact, she is a fantasy football junkie! She plays with her husband and his friends.
Something Unique About Her- Crystal was born right after Christmas, so the nurses brought her into her mom in a stocking. She often tells her parents that she was the best Christmas present they ever got!
