As a young man he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior in 1948. He graduated from Tyler High School in 1954 and then in 1958 he graduated Texas A&M, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Science. He married the love of his life, Betty Lou Brookshire in Houston, Texas on April 18, 1958.

He was a member of the Texas Silver Haired Legislature from 2000-2008. He was also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution.
