Daryl Hague was raised in Yakima, Washington, where he regularly
borrowed apples from local orchardists after football
practice. His high school years were distinguished by
the lengthy cartoons he used to draw on the adding machine
paper in his accounting class. He served an LDS mission
in Honduras, where he played the piano for many church
meetings. Upon returning from his mission, Daryl completed
a Spanish translation degree along with a philosophy
minor at BYU. He also sang in the chorus for several
BYU operas, one of which ("Ruddigore") was the first
BYU opera to turn a profit.
Upon graduating from BYU, Daryl enrolled in the University
of Washington's law school. He did some legal translation
during that time and also served as a member of the
Law Review. During his second year in law school, he
met his future wife, Annie, who was completing a nursing
master's degree.
After graduating from law school, Daryl practiced law in Anchorage,
Alaska. After three years of law practice, Daryl recognized
that Spanish was his first love and decided to seek
an academic career in Spanish. He returned to BYU, therefore,
to complete a master's degree in Spanish. While completing
his degree, Daryl was offered a position as a translation
instructor in BYU's Spanish and Portuguese department.
He completed his master's degree in 1996 and plans to
go to Spain to obtain a doctoral degree in translation.
