Eric Nielson


There's a little bit more of me around the middle and a little less on top but other than that the last 10 years have been pretty good to me. I served a mission in the gorgeous beaches of northern brazil. In one city we lived literally 3 streets from the ocean. I would wake up to the smell of salt water each morning. It was torture but I loved every minute. In fact, I went back to Latin America two more times. Once, as a student volunteer in Mexico and then to El Salvador as the country director for a non-profit group.

I met my wife Becky on a blind date (my little sister set us up). We have moved many times since we were married 5 years ago. Mostly, following job opportunities and promotions. We went from Springville to Ogden to St George then to Idaho Falls. Thankfully, Becky is very a patient. I guess you'd have to be to stay married to me.

We live in Spanish Fork and I started a new job as the Production Manager at a plant in Provo. Its the perfect job for me. I have my own office but I'm not chained to my desk. I can jump up and get on a forklift or pnuematic press for a few hours if I feel like it. It's awesome! Becky and I have 2 great kids. Adam just turned 3 and Tessa is almost 10 months. It will be good to see everybody next week.

Hi Eric. I haven't seen you since that random meeting at University Mall a few years ago. Callie and I can't wait to see how you guys are doing. We were there on your second date (I think), right? Congratulations on your awesome-sounding job and fam.
