He grew up in Fitzgerald, where he attended Fitzgerald High School, and after high school worked for Lowell Packing Company, then for Rainbow Irrigation for 10 years. After that he went to work for Lamar Gibbs and Marcy Stone in Abbeville, as a welder for 15 years. He started his own business doing electrical, plumbing and general carpentry work for family, friends, and neighbors.
