Winter 2004-Beginning of 2005 Facing Real Life

So after my knee healed sufficiently, I went out to put my degree to work and get a real job. Haha, I interviewed at a number of places, some of them being car dealerships, and in the process had the multi-multi-multi millionair cowboy Tex Earnhardt take me to lunch and try to convince me to work for him. I said yes and lasted a month and a half. I couldn't stand a lot of things there so I left.

It wasn't much later that I was offered a great opportunity with My Profit Keeper to sell an accounting software to large franchises. I'm now Director of Sales and Training there and in 9 months time I've helped the company go from 3 employees and 20 clients to 11 employees and 300 clients. Things are keeping me busy. Below is a few photos of things I did on the side during the last part of 2004 to the beginning of 2005.

February 4, 2005 in Sedona, AZ. The place is super cool for being a haven of wierdos.

March 2005. Heathie came home from her mish at Temple Square.

Here's me and Rybo, Rybot, Coughbot, Dr. Death, Ryan Seastrand American Model, Wizager in SoCal. I've got a lot of love for Mr. Coughbottica.

While on my way to General Conference in April of 2005, I met up with my friend Mary Ellen. We were turned a corner looking for a parking space and Mary's FRONT TIRE CAME OFF two blocks from conference! SO, yeah, we missed the session as we had to get a tow truck and stuff. Its amazing how many people stopped to offer help though...

Mary and I had to snap a photo, no one would believe us if we didn't.

Haha, I helped secure a towtruck and get the car out of the middle of downtown SLC to a car shop. Mary's trying to explain what happened to a friend on the phone...

I did quite a bit of curbocycling even while I had only one good knee in 2004. This is an R1 I bought super cheap, fixed up, rode hard, and made some dough on.

Finished product, my first 2002 Yamaha R1. Props to Clayton on the paint job.

Haha, I know this is one of Andy's favorite pics....

This is me and Lindsey Prowse with Andy and Baby Higgs in Nov. 2004. I wired Andy the $$ and he bought a bike for me in UT. Lins and I drove up and got it.

Here it is. 2002 Yamaha R1...i made sure it did 145mph.

Is There Life for a Single LDS Guy After BYU? Summer/Fall 2004

One snowy February day in Provo, I went to the hospital to visit my friend who's appendix had exploded. While I was in the hospital visiting him, I commented to another friend how much I hated hospitals and being sick. I said my biggest trial would be having to spend time sick in a hospital. The next day I tore my acl in my left knee playing basketball at BYU. I was blessed that I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be about the operation and recovery, things went smoothly, and I had my wonderful mom and sisters to nurse me back to health. Of course, the pampering didn't last forever...

Another one of my favorite pictures. I dreaded hospitals, so when my lil bro came to cheer me up, I loved it.

Here's a picture with my hot nurse. I asked her for her phone number and she reminded me she's my younger sister...

The Suns had a great year and almost made it to the finals. Thanks Dad for all of the tickets! I would've been in heaven if the Suns would've won their first championship the SAME YEAR as the RedSox...

Ashy and I made it out to Clark Fielding's wedding in OC, CA during the summer. Trent and John stopped flirting with girls long enough to take a quick pic with us.

Halloween, 04. But sometimes I do dress like this.

Me and the Bub. I took lil sis to a Yellowcard/Starting Line show.


November 2004, with my bro when my family got to meet Elder Eyring.

Best friends since we were 8! 17 years fly by...

Andy, Robert, and I eating wings at Native New Yorker, an old C-Town tradition.

2004 Graduation

BYU flew me and a few others to New Mexico to compete in a District Advertising competition. Anyone who has been to N.M. knows there ain't much to do there, so you could imagine my excitement when I ran into a fellow skateboarder.









After 4 years at Brigham Young University, I graduated in April of 2004 with a Bachelor's Degree in Advertising and Marketing.

You can tell there's something special about my parents, just by looking at them.

Haha, when I told my family that I was speaking at my graduation, they said "Wow!". When I told my friends I was speaking, they said "When?". When I told my classmates I was speaking at their graduation, they said "Why?".


What would graduation be without mentioning my family, and specifically, my parents? They're the reason I was able to go in the first place. Bubby's taking the picture.


Here with my sister Jen who was a freshman at the time at BYU and my little bro Chief. It was such a nice day.


I still can't believe my mom got on this. I think I promised I would eat healthy for a month if she saddled up.

I had a lot of fun that day riding around on my bike in my grad stuff. A few of my friends later said they saw someone in grad apparel wheelieing on a yellow bike and knew it was me.

I didn't think it was possible for me to love school. I was wrong. BYU was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I miss Provo Valley.

At a bbq with my friend Charlotte around grad time.

2003-2004 Provo Life Is Good.

Andy's wedding reception May of 2004. Dallas, Scott, Me, baby Chandler, Andy, and Robert

One of our Chandler Boyz lake trips. Few people know this, but the lake is more fun at night than during the day (notice the spotlight). This was Andy's Bachelor party, haha, we kept him up to 3 a.m.

During 2003 and 2004 we attended all types of demo derbys, rodeos, motocross races, and monster truck shows.


Of course, we dressed and groomed the part. This is not a picture of an escapee from the local prison, this is my best friend Andy.

April and I on a Labor Day picnic. We took a ride up the canyon on my motorcycle with some friends and found an awesome place to sit down and eat.

Labor Day BBQ at Housemont (our house on 9th st in Provo). We set out the furniture in the front yard, turn on some Jack Johnson, turn up the grill, and kick it like soccer players. Watch, like this-

One of my favorite pictures. This was taken in Springville, UT with good ol' "Buttercup this is Britt" on back. Riding open roads in beautiful canyons on my Cougar-colored Yamaha R6 is what kept me sane while hittin' the daily grind on campus.

Giving my cousin Shauna a birthday ride. That was back when I was a motorcycle salesman at a Honda Motorcycle dealership in Orem.

According to Elder Oaks, a date consists of the 3 P's: a Plan, being Paired off, and Paying for your date. Scott and I made it 5 P's by adding "pizza" and a "pimp" scooter to the formula. I bought Yooter (the yellow Scooter) for $400 from a BYU professor and it still runs like a champ to this day.

A Blast From the Past 2002-2003-- Add comments if you want, just keep it PG

Anyone who remembers 1980, remembers what a great year it was!

Hey Man Fam-- Summer of '02 in OC, CA.

Me, Chris, and my cousin Greg. This was Christmas and on the Curtis side of the family, we have a tradition of meeting on X-mas Eve, reading about Christ's birth out of Luke, and dressing up the cousins to reenact the birth in the manger scene. Because i'm incredibly smart, I'm often chose to represent one of the 3 wise men .....


My dad is hilarious. He is fascinated by all of technology's newest electronics, but knows little about how to use any of them. This is his ever-popular "satellite phone", you know, for when you're hiking in Antartica and you need to order pizza. "Extra cheese, Dad"!


My cousin Matt left to serve a mission in Brazil and his family and mine got together for a rare Heyman picture. We take a family picture every 15 years or so...


This has always been one of my favorite pictures. Taylor and one of my cousins hunting dinner with sling shots in Rocky Point, Mexico.



Here's little bro and I in Rocky Point, Mexico. Eat the food, but don't drink the water.




I spent my first full summer home from the mish ('02) in Irvine, CA selling pest control. If you haven't heard me tell the "I eat my bugs" story, ask me to tell it. Here's me and my fellow bug boy Dylan off the Huntington Beach pier.






Here's proof I actually dated someone at BYU, haha. It even lasted a few months, until Heather went on a mission to Temple Square. Spring '03

The boyz chillin' with Kurt's wife Jen. Being from El Paso, Kurt went cowboy style and so we put a 10 gallon hat on Jen.

If you didn't already know, I lived with 5 BYU swimmers for almost a year (Ryan, the one on the far left, is a model not a swimmer). They're still some of my best friends. This is Kurt's wedding in Orange County, CA during the summer of '03.
