After becoming an Eagle Scout and serving as a Spanish-speaking missionary in Argentina for two years, he met his amazing, beautiful, and talented wife, Sarah, while attending Brigham Young University, where he studied business, the humanities, …and Sarah. The Babcocks live in Burleson, TX with their three children and their life-loving golden retriever.

He tries to live by wise words and ideas wherever he can find them; for him, these include The Four-Way Test (Rotary), and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
