Sage was born in Phoenix, AZ, the sixth of 8 kids, but raised mostly in Sunnyvale, CA in the San Francisco Bay area. She did go to part of first and second grades in Provo at Rock Canyon Elementary School. Back in Sunnyvale she danced and played volleyball during high school.
At BYU she studied Humanities with an emphasis in creative writing. She also took dance classes and performed in Dancensemble, a modern dance choreography group. She took painting and photography classes for fun. She got a minor in Spanish after her mission to Lima, Peru. A year before she graduated (which took a long time since she took so many extra classes) she met her husband, Dave Gallagher, during a clean-up hike in Hobble Creek Canyon. They dated for about 5 months and married two months later in the Salt Lake Temple.
Sage and Dave have been married for 22 years and have 5 wonderful children. Silas (20) is serving a mission in Long Beach, CA. Noah is 16. Our three daughters are Eden (13), Chloe (6), and Ella (4). Sage has been able to stay home full time with the kids while also assisting Dave on occasion as office manager to various business ventures. Presently Dave runs an online animation school and Sage pitches in with some payroll help. Dave animated at Blue Sky Studios in New York for 11 years before starting his school.
St. George became our destination after another long, cold winter in Brewster, New York. Our extended family lives in Utah Valley so we are closer than we were. We are excited to experience St. George!
Sage loves to create things. She oil paints when she can, remodeled their NY home, sews things and intends to make more things out of wood someday. She recently certified to teach yoga and enjoys running and exercising with her husband and kids. She and her husband especially love playing volleyball and hope to find other enthusiasts here.
Something unique about Sage is she taught herself to play the cello and played in the local symphony for about five seasons (but don’t ask her to play a solo).
