He matriculated through Oklahoma City’s public school system and was a graduate of Douglass High School, where he was on the football team. He went on to serve in the United States Army – fought for his country during the Vietnam War and was honored with a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. He was later employed as a Water Treatment Specialist at Tinker Air Force Base, until he retired around 2010.
