About the Author

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf was sustained as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church in 2004. He was called as second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2008 and served in that position until 2018. He has served as a General Authority since 1994.

Elder Uchtdorf was born on November 6, 1940, in Ostrava, Czechoslovakia, to Karl Albert and Hildegard Opelt Uchtdorf. In 1947 his family became members of the Church in Zwickau, Germany. They fled to Frankfurt/Main in 1952, where he received an education in engineering. In 1959 he joined the German Air Force and served for six years as a fighter pilot.

In 1965 Elder Uchtdorf began working for Lufthansa German Airlines as a pilot. From 1970 until 1996 he flew as captain of several aircraft, including the Boeing 747. While also working as training and check captain, he received several management responsibilities, culminating in being named Senior Vice President Flight Operations and Lufthansa Chief Pilot.

He married Harriet Reich in 1962. They have two children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. With his call as an Apostle, Elder Uchtdorf and his family left their homeland and now live permanently in the United States.

Dieter and Harriet Uchtdorf enjoy outdoor activities, cherish the arts, and are happiest when spending time with their family.
