He lived in Oklahoma City all his life in his childhood home. He graduated from Southeast High School in 1971. He went on to work at John A. Browns. He married his high school sweetheart and had 3 boys. He left John A Browns to work for Scrivner until he took an early retirement. At that time, he lived in Las Vegas for a few years. As his children started families of their own, he moved back to Oklahoma to be an active grandpa. He then went back to work at Jasco.
