Brother and Sister McCauley met at BYU in Provo Utah. They married and moved to Eagle Idaho where they have raised an impressive family, grown a thriving business and have served in various capacities in the church of Jesus Christ.  They are a dynamic couple with numerous examples of Christlike Discipleship.  Together they are the parents of 7 children and 33 grandchildren. 

Married 21 years, yahoo!   Met in seminary at Eagle High School.  Deven served his mission in Sao Paulo Brazil and then went to BYU.  Kim played softball for Snow College in Ephraim, UT and then worked for the Church at the Family History Library in downtown Salt Lake City.  We have 4 amazing and beautiful children, McKayla (20), Carter (18), Bree (15), and Ellie (14) and currently live in Eagle.  We have experienced the highs and lows of entrepreneurial life from extraordinary financial success in our early 20s to homelessness and living with family in our 30s and then building our way back up again - finding that the one constant was relying on the power of our covenants and the strength of Jesus Christ.

Paul Johnson describes his life’s blessings as coming to him “pressed down, shaken together, and flowing over.” Those abundant blessings have actually included some very hard trials—being single until he finally got married at age 36; caring for his late wife who was diagnosed with MS two years into their 23-year marriage and was wheelchair bound then bedridden for many of those years; and now being single and trying to date again. He believes hard trials are actually compliments from God who, we’re promised, will not give us more than we can handle.  

Paul grew up here in his beloved Boise Valley, but graduated from high school in Independence, Missouri where his parents presided over the mission. After the life-changing blessing of studying in the Holy Land, he served a mission to Korea. Between undergrad (BA in English) and graduate schools (MBA and law degrees) at BYU, Paul backpacked around the world for a classic education, worked on Capitol Hill in Washington DC for a senator, and started a small importing business. Professionally he enjoys solving large infrastructure problems to create master planned communities. He and two other developers created and incorporated the Town of Saratoga Springs, Utah after solving the problem of how to bring water and sewer services to the area.

Highlights from this past year in Paul’s life include volunteering at a Ukrainian refugee aid station at the train station in Krakow, Poland; helping to start a school for Rohingyan orphan, refugee girls in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh; and attending his youngest daughter’s high school basketball games. 

Paul and Alice have four children, three of whom are out of the nest.
