Juanito Bandito (Bandito)
TJ went from being a pre-med student at Utah State University, to marrying an All-American volleyball star, to dropping out of dental
school at THE Ohio State University, to writing the script, music and lyrics for numerous live theatrical productions including a series
where he raps on stage while wearing a dark wig and mustache. How’s that for an unconventional career path?! What once was an
inside joke among family members has become a comedic phenomenon sought after by tens of thousands each year. TJ loves all
things basketball and especially enjoys the privilege of coaching his four sons Carter (12), Tanner (10), Hayden (8), and KJ (5). “Erin,
I love you. You are my favorite. Grams and Gramps, thanks for giving us a place to share your spirit of love and enthusiasm for life!”
