Today's Featured Biography

Bruce Smith

It's early 2009, and I've finished with my "mid-life crisis." In fact, my life has improved dramatically in the last year and I feel happy again.

I currently live in the Salt Lake City area, where I own a small business called "Matchup." Basically, I work with local high schools putting together game programs for their sports teams

I started this business in 2007. After I got divorced, I tried to remember "who I was" before I got married, had kids and became a devoted family man. So, I started covering high school football for one of our local newspapers. I got to know some people and started a high school football and basketball game program, which I call "Matchup." I offer it to high schools throughout the area, and it's going like gangbusters now. It provides a good income, and I get to work when I want - and for myself. The sky is really the limit with this.

As you know, I'm divorced, with two daughters. Abby was born in 1997, and Maddy in 1999. I see them often, and they are truly the best kids in the world. I don't have much of a social life, but that's OK. I've been getting back in shape, and feel healthier than I've ever been in my life. I'm 6-0 and 215 pounds ... you probably wouldn't recognize me.

I get back to Boise at least 3-4 times per year. Both of my parents are still alive and doing well. My two brothers, and my sister, also live in the Boise area. My older brother turned 50 last April and we celebrated by hiking to Table Rock.


My kids love visiting their relatives there and coming to Boise is - by far - our favorite vacation destination. After I got divorced, I didn't feel like I had much of a life for a while, but that is changing now ... finally.

After graduating from Borah, I earned a journalism degree at the University of Idaho. I moved around a bit after that while working as a sports reporter for various Idaho daily newspapers. I moved to Salt Lake in 1991 and worked for the SL Tribune here. I met my wife in 1992, and fell madly in love with her.

In 1995, I joined the travel industry and had my own business. The business failed, and the marriage failed at the same time. Since then, I've been working on paying debts and boosting my morale. It has been a learning experience.

I plan to be at our next reunion. I look forward to seeing you there, too.
