Brief Biography: Having grown up in Pittsburgh, Mr. Yund has an identical twin brother, Brandon. He joined the Army after high school, drove tanks for about four years, and was deployed to Iraq twice. Mr. Yund’s post-military goal was to become a History teacher, so he is very happy to be PALCS. Having bought their first home, his wife, Valerie, and their children, Jackson, Stella, and Benjamin spend the days playing and working on the house.
