I am AWESOME!! Survey :: Neal Clark

 

Neal Clark isn’t as old as his wife!  He is the second son of John Clark & Donna Orton. 

His family lived in Tooele, Utah when he was born.  They moved to Alaska where he loved every minute, and then to Bountiful, Utah.

He attended Viewmont high school and one day he was walking down the hall.  A girl by the name of Chris caught his attention and, not looking where he was going, he ran right into a drinking fountain!  Four and a half years later she became his wife.  He is the father of three sons and four daughters: Topher, Natalie, Steve, Joey, Kaylie, Mindie, & Anne.

He graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in physics and also studied astronomy.  He says physics “opened his eyes to how the world works.”  He works as a physicist/engineer and designs computer chips/circuits that protect your electronics (like your cell phone) from being destroyed by static electricity.  He works with people from all over the world.  Neal looks forward to retiring this year!

His favorite books are The Discoverers & The Creators.  He says, “There’s more to learn in these two books than any other books I’ve read.”  His favorite place to visit is Paris, France.  He said, “It is the most amazing city he has visited.”  He wants to visit Egypt.  Favorite food is popcorn.  Favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit movies.

When he grows up he wants to be “wise”.  He loves playing with his 18 grandkids and watching movies.  His pet peeve is people who interrupt his movie!  His favorite thing to do with family is to play Ooga-booga-ooga-booga-look!  He is learning to play the piano.

Favorite adventures include sky diving, scuba diving, 700 ft deep submarine dive; he was an airplane pilot; cruised through the Panama Canal; visited four continents including major cities such as Paris, Rome, London, Sydney, and Hobbiton; has seen a solar eclipse and space shuttle launch. 

He got to do all these things because he worked hard to get a good education and was able to get a great job.  Now he and Chris are missionaries for employment and education and are trying to help other people do the same.

Neal is afraid of people who don’t wash their hands__especially after using the restroom!

An embarrassing experience happened one Sunday just before church started.  He was the bishop and was on the stand in the chapel getting ready to begin Sacrament meeting when his pants split open in back!

One of his best qualities is being able to remember facts that he reads in books.  He is always reading and usually has several books at one time that he is studying.

Something that most people don’t know about him is that he was once caught with a can of beer in his cooler at a scout campout!

Neal was an amazing teenager.  He played the saxophone in a band called The Blue Diamonds; he also sang with the group and they played at dances, at a restaurant, and performed in a talent show on television.  His high school English teacher called him “the computer who wore tennis shoes”; he made a 90 yard touchdown on the Viewmont football team; he pole vaulted; he was a Sterling Scholar nominee and went to the televised competition.

He has a great sense of humor and the most contagious laugh ever!  Make him laugh!
