Scope and Contents

Richard Hodges, raised in Salt Lake City, holds a master’s degree in Economics from the University of Utah and had a long career with Utah Transit Authority (UTA) beginning with an internship at the company.

He also discusses his over twenty-five years’ involvement in the Utah Nordic Alliance, starting as a board member and then serving as board president, and choosing and developing Soldier Hollow as an Olympic venue.
