He later earned an MBA. His professional career with Amoco Oil Co. spanned 40 years and involved moves to Colorado, Kansas, Illinois and North Carolina. During this time he became an avid golfer and tennis player. After retirement he finally returned to the place he felt most at home- the mountains of Utah. Once there he became very active in his civic and church communities. He was deeply impacted by his relationship to his great grandfather John Taylor, the third president of The Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-day Saints. Reed developed many rich and rewarding friendships while providing his quiet and devoted service. Reed was a man known for his dry humor and quiet determination.
