He graduated with the Class of 1978. He then honorably served his country in the United States Navy completing two enlistments.
Being very industrious and a hard worker he tackled several jobs successfully. He was mainly known as an artistic woodworker and carpenter. His talents ran from operating a saw mill to making beautiful cabinets, furniture, musical instruments and even children's toys.
