After graduating high school, he married his high school sweetheart, Debbie in 1968.  In 1969, he joined the U.S. Air Force where he proudly served his country during the Vietnam era.

During his career, he also travelled to various countries for chemical plant startup support.  He was a former member of the Free Masons and was an active member at Aldersgate United Methodist Church.
