Reid Robinson is a seasoned professional with a diverse background as a businessman and educator. He skillfully managed O. C. Tanner's Canadian operation for an impressive 16-year tenure, while also sharing his knowledge with students at BYU for 22 years, both within the Marriott School and the religion department. Equally qualified is his wife, Diane, who shares his passion for teaching and learning. Together they served as mission leaders in the Caribbean and in Africa, and love teaching together.

Since 1998, Reid’s passion for travel has taken him on an incredible journey of directing Church history tours and cruises, spanning destinations such as the Caribbean and Alaska. More recently, he has extended his expertise to lead tours in the British Isles, France, Spain, and Italy, all the while lecturing on cruises off the coasts of the British Isles and the United States. On many of these adventures, Diane has been by his side inspiring tour participants with her wisdom and insights.

Reid's travel experiences have spanned the globe, including Africa, numerous Caribbean islands, Tonga, Samoa, Asia, Israel, Jordan, and Europe. His enthusiasm for creating, managing, and hosting tours has left an indelible mark, highlighted by his significant role in orchestrating the BYU Alumni Tour Program, which brought over 5,000 individuals to the Nauvoo Temple Open House and other Church History Historical Sites. With the exception of Asia, Diane has shared in those travel experiences.

Residing in Provo, Utah, Reid and Diane, are the proud parents of five children, 18 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Both hold doctorates in education and share a deep love for teaching. Diane's expertise extends to Art History, where she has her master’s degree and has even participated in an archaeological dig in Petra, while imparting her knowledge in art history classes and harboring a passion for the world's great artists. While serving on the Young Women Board for the Church, she helped develop the Come Follow Me curriculum.

Dr. Alonzo L. Gaskill was reared in Independence, Missouri (as a practicing member of the Greek Orthodox Church). His grandparents came to the United States (from Greece) at the turn of the 20th century, and he was reared in a traditional Greek home in the heart of what early members of the Church called “Zion.”

Converting to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during his college years, Alonzo served a full-time mission to Great Britain one year after his baptism. Upon returning from his mission, he decided to change his career path—dropping his longtime dream of being a mortician (no kidding) for a career teaching religion. He earned degrees in Philosophy, Theology/World Religions, and Biblical Studies, and has taught Seminary and Institute, but has spent the majority of his career as a professor of World Religions at Brigham Young University.
