He joined the Worldwide Church of God's Ambassador College in 1961 in Pasadena, CA and worked as a truck driver before starting his career in insurance.

His favorite hobbies were reading, watching old westerns, rooting for the Denver Broncos, and studying the Bible. He was devoted to the church and his faith and was always willing to lend a hand, give a ride, or help someone in need. In his later years he enjoyed sitting in the sun while painting, puttering around his yard, and having his daughter take him to the beach. His beloved wife, Doris, passed away on July 24, 2021, after 48 years of marriage. He is survived by his children, his "favorite" sister, Julie, numerous extended family, and his friends from the church. He will be laid to rest with his wife at Camelia Memorial Lawn Cemetery.
