He was very active in baseball and basketball in high school and was pitcher and outfielder. He played in the Clay County Tournament and won the championship game in 1936 as the winning pitcher. After high school, he played baseball on the Rossie town team for many years. He grew up on the farm with his parents, paternal grandparents and 7 brothers and sisters. He worked with his father and brothers farming, corn shelling, baling hay, lumber sawing and threshing with steam engines. In the fall of 1939, he picked corn by hand for 4 cents a bushel, picking 120 bushel a day filling the wagon twice. He used the money he earned to go on a trip with friends to California in a 1930 Model T Ford. On September 5, 1943, he married Naomi Jespersen of Royal at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Royal.
