In 1985 he moved his family to Orem and opened The Cleaning Solution, a dry cleaning business which grew to 5 locations. Val loved his business and working with his dedicated employees.
He has remained steadfast in his testimony of the church, and has served as a bishop in his home ward, and as a counselor and a bishop in BYU singles wards. He is a huge fan of BYU sports.
