He served in the U.S. Air Force for four years and had satisfying careers with Exxon, International Paper and the Nevamar Corporation, where he had the privilege of traveling to Europe on many business trips. After retirement, he moved to Ocala, FL and was a successful realtor and Vice President of Greater Mobility. He married Jacquie in 2015. They particularly enjoyed their two-year adventure traveling the lower 48 states in a Class A RV.
