The Inspired Crossing: From California to Traverse Mountain

Following the death of his wife, Joyce, on September 11, 2001, Phil Wasden transitioned from a long career in California to a new chapter in Lehi, Utah. Seeking a place that felt 'inspired' rather than just convenient, he was led to Traverse Mountain in 2003 by a realtor who described the area as being 'in the middle of everywhere and the middle of nowhere.' Despite being a single man, he purchased a six-bedroom home, viewing it as a hub for family and a decision guided by a higher purpose.
