In 1977, both Donna and I moved to Orem, Utah, where we attended the same high school and eventually began dating during our senior year. After I expressed my love for her during graduation in 1980, I embarked on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Southern Texas, where we faithfully exchanged letters until the end of my service.

Upon returning, I was greeted by Donna at the Salt Lake City Airport, and shortly after, I proposed to her in our favorite park. We were married two months later. Our early years were marked by financial struggles, but our love remained strong. After graduating, I found work in the semiconductor industry, which provided for our growing family.

In 1999, we moved to Eagle Mountain, where I continued my engineering career while always pondering a backup plan. Around 2002, inspired by our love for food and the absence of a pizzeria in the area, we conceived the idea of Village Pizza. Over the next two years, amidst our jobs and raising our family, we laid the groundwork for our restaurant.

In 2004, Village Pizza opened its doors, and despite the challenges, we persevered. In 2015, when my engineering job ended, we felt grateful for the stability our restaurant provided. Today, with a family of 13 and 37 years of marriage behind us, our love and dedication to each other and our community continue to thrive.

We are immensely grateful for the support of our customers, who have become like family to us, as we strive to serve you with passion and commitment every day.
