1960-Graduated from Lander Wyoming High School.
1960-1961Attended Brigham Young University on a basketball scholarship. This aid should not be called scholarship, the misuse of this word tells a great deal about our society. Pro-Life played on the Freshman team. Pro-Life was the last player to be cut from the Varsity as a Sophomore and then 2 Varsity players quit, but Pro-Life was not called back to the Varsity because he had complained about athletes not keeping the BYU Honor Code. Pro-Life was learning to take his lumps for telling the truth.

1973-1976 Self-employed, Licensed Public Accountant, Bear Lake County, Idaho.
1977-1982 Open-pit coal mining, Carbon County Wyoming.
1982- Divorced by Jean Benson because Pro-Life was too politically incorrect and that was embarrassing for a peer pressure oriented woman. Married Kirsten Faith Bjarnson in St George LDS Temple in November 1982. Kirsten has moral courage and ignores peer pressure. Pro-Life and Kirsten are very compatible and in love.
1983-1984 Strawberry farmer at Gilcrest, Colorado.

2004- Changed middle name to Pro-Life, ran for State Legislature.
2006- Ran for Governor as Marvin Pro-Life Richardson, the name Pro-Life was not allowed on the ballot by Idaho Secretary of State so Pro-Life went to court and dropped the names Marvin and Richardson.
2008- Candidate for US Senate, the name Pro-Life on ballot with parentheses after Pro-Life (a person formerly known as Marvin Richardson). A special law was passed by the Idaho Legislature requiring the parenthetical information so that voters would not confuse Pro-Life as an idea or value. This law is an unconstitutional, ex-post facto law. Pro-Life would have agreed to the parentheses but was not asked. Typical of elected government officials to violate common courtesy and the Constitution.
2007 Pro-Life ran for Fire Commissioner as a write in. Received about a third of the vote but lost to the incumbent.
2002-present Organic farmer, mostly strawberries. Pro-life and Kirsten spend their time on the farm and in moral activism, trying to persuade people to give up their selfishness and live like Jesus.
