Spencer Cannon— I grew up an Army brat, born in ElPaso, Texas, and lived there, Okinawa, and Germany. After that I grew up in Draper then served 4 years in the Army and lived most of that time in Germany. I have 5 children, 2 boys and 3 girls. I also have 1 grandson and 1 granddaughter with an unknown on the way. I have been married for 29 years (as of May 1st). I live in American Fork and have been there for almost 20 years.
I graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have worked at the Sheriff's Office for 20 1/2 years. I started in the jail, worked in patrol, as a detective, in Emergency Services, and for the past 6 + years as a supervisor in patrol.
I love traveling and eating exotic foods (I'll try almost anything once). From Borscht in Moscow, to Escargot in Paris, to Blutwurst (Blood sausage) in Germany, and Rocky Mountain Oysters in Wyoming, there is not much I would not be willing to try.
The two favorite vacation spots for my family are Lake Powell any time of the year and a beach house on the Gulf of Mexico along the Alabama coast.
I am part of SMART because I am passionate about helping people get a new start. Those I help do not always see it that way but my hope is that at least a few of them will make a positive change in their life because of my interaction with them.
What makes me unique is that I have strongly held philosophies about why I do the work I do. It is not just about a pay check. I hope to make a difference, from issuing citations for the smallest traffic violation to arrests for serious crimes. I believe that when I become involved in someone's life they have demonstrated an inability to exercise sound judgment and make good decisions. I am there to give them one more opportunity to turn things around.
