Who am I?

Who am I?


I'm Clark Dee Abraham.
So, yeah.  My name is Clark.  This blog will be a little bit about me and who I am. 


I grew up in "Southern" Utah in a small town called Richfield.  As one can see from the map, Richfield is pretty central in the state, but everyone thinks that Provo  is "central" so anything below Provo is "Southern Utah."
I was born and raised there until I moved to Logan to attend Utah State University.  I fell in love with Logan and have made it my new home.  I have lived here (with a couple of exceptions) ever since 2003.


I am happily married (sorry ladies) to my wife Krystal.  I am very proud of her and am lucky to be with her.  She graduated from USU with her Masters in Social Work and is currently working at the local health department as a substance abuse councilor.  The best part is that we are expecting our first baby, a little girl, in June.  We are both very excited.


I love languages.  I studied French in high school and college and graduated with my BA in the langauge.  My studies took me to France twice where I studied French while living with French families.  I also served an LDS mission to Italy, where I learned the Italian language.  Upon return from my mission, I traveled to Chile to begin learning Spanish and minored in the language.  In my wives family there are 3 deaf siblings.  So when I married into the family, I took it upon myself to learn ASL.  I have also been doing tests with the FBI for a translation position, and will hear back from them any day.  Meanwhile, I am getting my teaching license to be able to teach French in a secondary level.

I love everything Aggies.  The Utah State ones that is.  Especially Aggie Basketball.  I also like the local teams: Utah Jazz and Real Salt Lake.  I love playing sports (though I'm not that good at any of them) and I like watching pretty much all sports.  
 I also enjoy photography. (I took the picture to the left)  I also LOVE to make movies.  Check out the video at the bottom for some good ol', home-made, video fun!



Anyway, that's me.  I hope you've enjoyed this blog post about me bragging about myself and my accomplishments.
