His earlier years were spent between his beloved family coal mine on Granite Creek near Jackson, Wyoming and Ogden, Utah. He graduated from Ogden High School in 1947.

He enjoyed his work as a Mechanical Engineer at Sperry Univac (Unisys). During his employment he invented products that garnered at least five patents for the company. In his spare time, he loved being outdoors and spending time with family and friends. He also enjoyed genealogy and documented more than 100,000 ancestors from the Rhineland, Prussia.
