He attended rural school near Wiota through the 3rd grade and then attended Anita Community Schools, graduating with the High School Class of 1946. After graduation, he was employed for Safeway Grocery Stores and worked first in Atlantic, Iowa, then Red Oak and Creston, then back to Atlantic until 1963. On September 10, 1950, he was united in marriage to Marilyn Taylor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Anita. They were blessed with twins, Doug and Shelley. In March 1951, he was inducted into the United States Army. During his tour of duty he served in Alaska until he was honorably discharged in March 1953.
