L. Shane Yates

I am a fun-loving, open minded individual. I love freedom. Family is important to me, as well as friendship. I have 5 brothers and 4 sisters. My 22 nieces and nephews are a source of joy. They are my future! I was born of goodly parents and grandparents. My heritage is rich. I am interested in people and cultures. I speak fluent Portuguese and Spanish. Once I took the front page photo in The Los Angeles Times. I work as a Insurance Agent, Substitute Teacher, and Photographer. I served an LDS mission to Portugal. I graduated from Hillcrest High School in 1988 and obtained a 1995 BA degree in Accounting from the David Eccles School of Business at The University of Utah. I lived in Orange County, California for 11 years and in 2007 moved back to Utah. Technology, Theology, Reading, Gardening, Traveling, Movies, Camping, History, Geneology, Family, Friends and my Dog Dante are what I value. I have vision for the future. I am an Entreprenuer by Nature, Innovative, Smart and Kind. Leadership, I accept. I stand up to injustice and fight for truth. The most important thing we can give is our time and attention. I appreciate all who have come into my life and embrace the lessons, blessings, challenges and experience. Thanks for "Splashing" by!
