Sondrup Personal Life
"I grew up in the Utah Hive. I have pioneer blood that has deeply shaped me. I have lived all up and down the state, which has built my appreciation of the natural and human wealth of Utah. I am now fully clear on my desire to love, live, and work in the capital city. I intend to build a tight community of patients during my career here and use that success to pursue peripheral projects such as humanitarian work, innovation in dental technology and delivery of care, and additional business ventures that support my ethics and values.
I love bicycles. I love cooking last-minute creative dishes and desserts. I hope to work with wire to do some larger artistic works in the coming years. I love philosophy and debate. I love being wrong, but I will take some time to admit it. I am in a rewarding relationship with Jessica Gilmore, better known as "Jude" from Clubhouse on South Temple. I am best typed as an INTJ under the Meyers Briggs personality system."
