Hansen has four wonderful children and one grandson. He loves every second he is able to spend time with them. His father retired from North Sanpete School District and his mother will be retiring at the end of this year. He loves this valley and the people that live here.

When asked what he values the most in life he said, “Relationships! Connection is what allows us to reach new heights and overcome the most difficult of obstacles. We all have amazing talents but we also have weaknesses. When we come together we are stronger.”

He looks back to the great foundation that has been placed by many of those that have come before, to the present by those that continue to serve to this day, and forward to the wonderful possibilities as we work together to continue to make this the best place to live, educate, work and connect.

Hansen will take office July 1.
