Kirk was born and raised in West Valley city (but don't hold that against him, because he played baseball all through high school…We know how E-town feels about baseball). He served a mission for the LDS church in Washington DC, which prepared him to meet Catharine. They attended SLCC while dating then in 2009 married in the Draper Temple. They continued their education together at DSU, including obtaining their EMT certification.

Kirk was hired for the St George Fire Department in 2013 after volunteering for 3 years. He has his Advanced EMT certification and enjoys learning the physiology and pathophysiology of the body. It's extraordinary how professionals can improve the condition of individuals through the application of that knowledge. Kirk obtained an associates degree from UVU in firefighting/emergency care, then in 2019 completed a Bachelor's of Science in Emergency Management. He enjoys playing and watching his kids advance in sports, spending time in the outdoors hunting, fishing, and hiking.
