Meet our Team

Everyone who contributes to the Cache County Christmas Car Project is part of our fantastic team.  However, we do want to take a minute and highlight some of the key players.

 

The Hansens

Jason Hansen is the mastermind of the Cache County Christmas Car Project.  He is a mechanic, and also serves on the Cache County Search and Rescue and the Hyrum City Fire Department.  

Kristie Hansen goes along with all of Jason's crazy ideas, and helps to make his vision a reality.  She works at Utah State University and also serves in the United States Army Reserves.  

Jason and Kristie have  been married for 21 years and have three kids.  They love our National Parks, grilling and smoking good foods, and doing crazy things together. 

Both Jason and Kristie serve as board members.

The Mortensens

Ty and Kandice Mortinsen have supported the Cache County Christmas Car Project since 2021.  Ty is on Cache County Search and Rescue with Jason, and he is also good friends with Santa.  

Kandice is a pro at helping prepare Santa at the drop of a hat, any time of year.  She is currently completing her degree in Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at Weber State University.  She also is an amazing photographer, and has taken many of the amazing photos for this site. 

Together Ty and Kandice have three children.

Both Ty and Kandice serve as board members.

Santa Claus
