He served in the Idaho National Guard and on the Teton City Council and in the Bishopric of the Teton 2nd Ward. As a profession, he worked as a nuclear waste engineer at the Idaho INEL site.
He enjoyed his boys more than life, U.S. history more than most, and coaching club volleyball more than all.
