Wilson enjoys sport of any kind and has recenlty become addicted to golf. He has had no formal training in web development but currently works as a web developer due to the experience gained working on mission.net related projects. Wilson is part of the LDSMN development committee and the backup technical contact for mission.net. |

Bro. Huber, along with Bro. Derek Hansen, also redesigned the site and introduced the "LDS Mission Network" name incorporating both mission.net and ldsmissions.net in the new layout. |
