Mr. Upton particularly enjoys spending time with his wife of 25 years and four children, although all but his youngest have left the state to pursue their college dreams (all 3 are successful LCHS grads). He appreciates the essential financial support provided by the LCF Educational Foundation to our school district, having served on its Executive Board in the past. Mr. Upton also continues to be active in his church, now serving as an elder. Running the LCF trails, playing a few sets of tennis, downhill skiing, and playing the piano all rate as some of his favorite pursuits.
