In this episode I got to sit down with Leland Kimball - one of my great friends here in Northern Colorado.  We moved into the ward just a year or two after them, and have become super close with him and his family.  It was a privilege getting to sit down with him and I am super grateful he was so honest and willing to share his story.  Some of the highlights:

  • Growing up in Thousand Oaks and driving to school in a cop car
  • Looking up to his Dad and brothers
  • His mission in England
  • His love of sports
  • Joining the military and his time in Afghanistan
  • Becoming an endodontist
  • Meeting Kelly (his wife)
  • Their journey from North Carolina to Missouri to Fort Collins
  • How he and his family dealt with the tragic loss of their third son, Braden
