Preston grew up in Bismarck North Dakota. In his early teen years, his family of 7, moved to Utah. He’s married to his beautiful wife of 15 years, Megan Dahlgren. Together, they have four beautiful girls and an 18 month old boy. The girls are aged nine, six, and three. Their second "Angel daughter," Stella died shortly after birth. Preston has a background in nursing. He currently works as a full time Senior Nursing Director of Surgical Services for the University of Utah. While previously working for Intermountain Healthcare, he obtained his Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and currently practices as a part time as Marriage and Family Therapist.

People are Preston’s real passion. Helping individuals overcome the obstacles that prevent them from determining their own path through life is one of Preston’s greatest pleasures. Preston especially enjoys helping people discover and live out their personal missions. This process of self-discovery is most often accomplished through much pain, striving, personal development, and divine guidance.

When he’s not at either of his two jobs, you can find him out hunting, fishing, or swimming.
