Please help welcome JP to the team!

My name is JP. I grew up in a small farming community in Erda Utah where I learned to work hard and develop a love for the outdoors and family.

My parents were very hard working and would have me and my siblings use massage to help them recover and my sister and I took to massage quickly and always were looking for better techniques. I played football and wrestled in high school where I was introduced to the importance of recovery and healing.

In my freshman year of high school I met my best friend who I dated all through high school. After high school I spent two years in peru serving that amazing people as a missionary for the LDS Church and finding a deep connection to the importance of spirituality in our lives. I later married my high school sweetheart and we have 5 kids who have kept our hearts and schedules full for the past 25 years. I also have worked in the construction field and have owned and operated my own plumbing company called, “hometown plumbing”, serving the Tooele valley for the past 20 years.

With my wife being a collegiate softball player and very athletic, our kids have always been heavily involved in sports from softball and baseball to soccer, volleyball, wrestling, track and cross country. I have always loved massage and love helping others recover and feel better. Last year I learned the art of foot zoning and it has sparked a desire to be able to help others heal. I am excited to learn and to help others with the talents I have been blessed with. I love helping others smile. My family’s only criteria for me to pursue this path is that I don’t go “granola”, and I cannot put “HOMETOWN PLUMBING AND MASSAGE” on the side of my work van.
