He graduated from Berean Academy in 1970 after only attending there for one year.  He had saved money from custom harvesting to be able to attend and graduate from Berean.  He married Karen (Brouhard) on November 4, 1974 at his Uncle Jim's house outside Douglass, KS.  He was a member of the Augusta First Church of the Nazarene.  He was a former board member of the Branches Pregnancy and Family Center (previously known as PFRC).  He worked at Dustrol as a Parts Manager until he retired in 2016.
