He spent the majority of his high school years in Weatherford, Oklahoma where he graduated in 1972. After graduation, he began his family and later began following his dream of being a nurse by becoming an LPN working with the veterans at the Clinton VA Center, Great Plains Regional Medical Center, and also the CCA prison.
