Background

Born in Chicago, Herrod has a B.A. in International Relations and Family Living (1990), and a Master's degree in Organizational Behavior (1992), both from Brigham Young University. He spent 1992-1993 as an Assistant Professor at Kharkov State University; in 1995-1996, he served as an instructor and advisor at Utah Valley State College's Kiev affiliate, the Kiev College of Hotel Management. From 1997-1998, he was international marketing director of Neways. After a brief stint at Merck (1998–99), Herrod went into real estate development, as owner/manager of Keystone Developers and Pangaea Development. He has also served as adjunct faculty in international business at Utah Valley University.[1]

Political career

He was elected to the House in 2006. For the 2009-2010 session, he is assigned to the House Public Utilities and Technology Committee; and to the House Workforce Services and Community and Economic Development Committee, of which he is Vice Chair.

Criticism

Herrod has garnered opposition for his conservative views. He has actively opposed such moderate measures as Utah's centrist immigration reform law. He has been criticized for contradicting the moderate position on immigration favored by the state's majority faith, the LDS Church.[2] Some Utah business leaders have expressed concern that the enforcement-only immigration laws that Herrod has proposed could cripple Utah businesses' competitiveness.[3]

Herrod gained widespread attention when he proposed a bill that would have censored programming on Utah's public radio station (KUER) and public television station (KUED). The Salt Lake Tribune criticized him for not having consulted public television executives when drafting the bill.[4]

Personal life

During his teenage years he travelled to Vienna, Hungary, and then-divided Berlin. He is a Mormon, and did his missionary service in Sweden. He is married to Alia, whom he met while in the Ukraine; they have four children (Katya, Niles, Dale, and Reagan). Herrod is a scoutmaster, and an active fencer. In March 2010 he released an 186-page book with a vanity press called, The Forgotten Immigrant - How Tolerating Illegal Immigration Hurts Immigrants, under the imprint Live Free Publishing, LLC.[5]
