He married the love of his life, Clara Marie Hansen, on Nov. 16, 1948, in the Idaho Falls Temple.
He attended barber school in Salt Lake City, UT, for 6 months and then returned to St. Anthony to work in his father’s shop with 2 of his brothers and a brother-in-law. After 6 years, he decided he wanted to do something other than barbering, so he went to work at Bingham Mechanical in Idaho Falls. In 1975, he became partners with his close friend in owning the company. In 1981, he retired from Bingham Mechanical, which left him more time to serve as a Bishop and do many other things he always wanted to do.

He had the opportunity of hosting Larry Chesney, a P.O.W. from the Viet Nam War, on a trip to Las Vegas where they got to meet the Osmonds and watch one of their performances. He, also, hosted Elder Neal A. Maxwell on a trip into Yellowstone National Park in a snow coach.
