In his younger years he lived in the Issaquah/Seattle area and graduated from Cleveland High School in 1941.

He worked in construction, building roads, bridges and dams from Aberdeen, WA to Nehalem, WA. He went on to become a Master Mechanic, fabricator and Quarry Master, working in the mining field most of his life. He designed and built the Circle H Mobile Home Park in Snohomish, WA, and developed his own quarry, Allied Aggregates, now being leased in Mount Vernon, WA.
