vision, but was always urged to use his remaining vision rather than learn
braille or other non-visual techniques. Everette pursued a degree in church
music at Dallas Baptist University. He met his wife Angela in college and
after graduation, worked to put her through medical school. In 2004, they
moved to Utah and Everette was soon hired by the Utah Division of Services
for the Blind where he currently oversees service programs. In 2007, he
