Here is more information than I'm sure you even wanted about me, taken from my author website: www.boicebox.com

Trina Bates Boice grew up in sunny California with her twin sister and even won 1st place in a Twin's Contest when they were 12 years old! She and her twin sister are co-hosts on Roots Television's "Climbing Family Trees." They also have an older sister and a younger brother.

Trina later braved the cold and snow at Brigham Young University, where she earned two Bachelor’s degrees (International Relations and Spanish.) While at BYU, she competed on the Speech and Debate team and the Ballroom Dance Team, winning national titles. She was President of the National Honor Society, Phi Eta Sigma, and served as ASBYU Secretary of Student Community Services.

Trina also studied at the University of Salamanca in Spain, and later returned there to serve an LDS mission in Madrid. She also earned a Master’s degree from California College for Health Sciences and received the Bernard M. Baruch Award from the Congress of Rehabilitative Medicine.

She worked as a Legislative Assistant for a Congressman in Washington D.C. and wrote a column called “The Boice Box” for a newspaper in Georgia, where she lived for 15 years. She has a Real Estate license, Travel Agent's license, a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, and helps her husband, Tom, with their real estate appraisal and investment companies. If she told you what she really did every day, she'd have to kill you.

Trina lives in beautiful Carlsbad, California with her husband, Tom, and their four wonderful sons: Cooper, Calvin, Bradley, and Bowen. Even the family's dog, hamster, and water turtles are all male! With that much testosterone in the house, Trina was destined to be involved with the Boy Scouts of America, and she received the "Godsend Award" in 2001 for all of her service. She is very proud of all her Eagle Scout sons!

In 2004, Trina was named "Honor Young Mother of The Year" for the state of California by American Mothers, Inc! Her family is still laughing about that one.

In 2004, Trina was named as President George W. Bush's "Points of Light Volunteer" for her domestic and international service projects.

Trina is a political correspondent for KPBS in San Diego, and also writes for a media company called 80108.com She is a member of Latter-Day Authors and LDStorymakers and is on the faculty for the LDS Writing School.

She has taught Seminary for years for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and she is a temple worker in the beautiful San Diego Temple.

She has been a guest speaker at conferences and conventions for both business and religious events, and she would love to speak at your next function! What kind of a freak am I that I actually enjoy public speaking?!
