Īfter their marriage, Settie finished her bachelor’s degree at BYU University, and Gee remained enrolled as a student so he could play on the soccer team. After their missions, Gee and Settie enrolled in Brigham Young University, where they began dating. In Russia, Gee met his future wife, Jessica Settie, who was also a missionary at the time.
After high school, he spent two years as a missionary for his church in Vladivostok, Russia. Gee attended Lone Peak High School in Highland, Utah, and was captain of the school’s soccer team.
After taking pictures of a very high score he set and submitting it online, Gee says he received a certificate in the mail declaring him the world record holder. When Gee was thirteen years old, he loved the game Tetris. On the other hand, his father, an orthodontist, preferred more rugged hobbies like Civil War reenactments and cowboy activities. Īccording to Gee, his mom was very “glitzy and glamorous.” She hosted a travel TV show and preferred to travel with Louis Vuitton luggage. After his parents divorced when he was nine, he spent summers in California with his mom and the school year with his dad in Alpine, Utah.
He was the fifth of six children born in the Gee family. Garrett Gee was born November 6, 1986, in American Fork, Utah.
