He attended Anthon Country School. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he was a paratrooper with the 17th Airborne Division. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and was honorably discharged. He continued to serve his country in the U.S. Army Reserves in Sioux City. On Feb. 12, 1955, he married Lola Marie Herbold in Sioux City. They lived in Sioux City, while he worked as a switchman for the Terminal Railroad, retiring from the railroad after its closure in 1970. In 1962, he followed his passion and purchased a farm near Hinton, Iowa, where the couple raised their six children.
