Caston Holbrook

Biography

Caston was born and raised on a cattle ranch in the mountains of Southeastern Idaho and therefore is fascinated with all things outdoors and athletics. He served a two-year church mission in the Dominican Republic where he learned about both the Dominican culture and Spanish. That experience was the moment when a love for languages and an appreciation of the diversity of people was instilled in him. Afterwards, he studied Linguistics at BYU-Idaho, transferred to Utah State, studied abroad in Spain for a time, and graduated with a BA in Spanish and a minor in Linguistics from USU. Once completing the MSLT program, he hopes to one day pursue doctoral work with an aim to eventually teach and carry out research at a university.
