He attended Albion Public Schools and graduated from Albion High School, with the class of 1949. In 1945 Max was in a hunting accident where he suffered the loss of his left thumb and 1/3 of the muscle in his left arm. Because of this accident he was often asked by children what happened to his thumb, his favorite answers were: a bear bit it off or I sucked it too much as a kid, to his grandkids he was known as Grandpa no thumb. In 1951, Max married Alice Larson. They were blessed with three children: son, Jerre Lee, and daughters Jeanette Allyson and Jennifer Lynn. The family moved to Phillipsburg, Kansas in 1953 and Max worked as an auditor and later material account manager for the Kansas-Nebraska Energy until his retirement in 1993.

He officiated football, basketball, and baseball, both at the High School and Collegiate level, including officiating football in the Big 8 and Western Athletic Conferences. In March of 2003 he was inducted into the Kansas State High School Activities Association Hall of Fame. Max was proud of obtaining the Grand Royal and World Slams from the National Wild Turkey Federation, by harvesting all six species of turkeys.
