Dr. Hansen is excited to have returned to his Aggie and Northern Utah heritage—with grandparents who were Aggies, great-grandparents who were faculty/staff at Utah State University, and other ancestors who helped settle the ‘old west’ in Cache Valley and surrounding Northern Utah/Southern Idaho in the mid to late 1800s. He enjoys revisiting where they taught, farmed, fished, and served the community. In his free time, he enjoys fishing, skiing, mountain biking, hiking, woodworking, shuffle skating, and additional outdoor activities and the family-friendly vibe/community that Cache Valley has gained a reputation for in travel and tourism, and spending time with his wife and children.
