He graduated from Stringtown High School in 1968, then attended Oklahoma Baptist University, where he met the love of his life, Rita. He spent his years being a master automotive technician. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast - particularly, his Cushman Eagle. He could fix almost anything, and, if he did not know how, he would find out.
