J Peter Hansen

Pdte Hansen’s information has not yet been published in the Church new…so there is nothing official to put here….yet. However….the following informational blurb comes from his Berkeley California Institute Director’s Biography page….

Bro. Hansen is married to JoElla who used to live in Ethiopia. They have four children, all of whom are boys except three. They are very blessed to have ten grandchildren (so far). His mission was the West Spanish American. Looking on a globe to find Spanish America will not help. It is not there. Bro. Hansen had a career in Utah law enforcement in Pleasant Grove and Orem, retiring in 1996 as the Cedar City Chief of Police after 24 years to accept a position teaching seminary in the Pineview (Washington, UT) Seminary. He also taught at the Cedar City Seminary before being tranferred to the Pleasant Hill Institute of Religion in July, 2002. He has served as young men's president five times, stake high councilor twice, bishop twice, counselor to a stake president, and currently has the blessing of serving as bishop of the Antioch 5th (YSA) Ward where Sis Hansen serves as stake YSA advisor. Favorite movies include "Remember the Titans," "Sandlot," "Invincible," "Glory Road," "Napolean Dynamite," "The Best Two Years," and almost anything in black and white. College football is his favorite sport and BYU is his favorite team. Please note that someday he will have more hair than the photo shows.
