When he was six years old, his parents moved to Arizona because of his chronic breathing problems. They lived in Tucson for four years, then moved to Globe, where he graduated from Globe High School in 1956. He attended the University of Arizona, then went to work in the copper mine in Hayden. He worked for Montgomery Ward in Tucson, then joined the Border Patrol in Anthony, Texas. He was transferred to the U.S. Department of Justice Federal Prison System, where he worked as a correctional officer and substance abuse counselor. After he was sent to Alcatraz for training, he could pick any lock. After his retirement, he then returned to college, graduating from Northern Arizona University after he was 60 years old. In retirement, he enjoyed traveling in his fifth wheel with his dogs, working as campground host in state parks in the west. He moved to Pierre in 2003, where he was campground host at Farm Island State Park and worked part time at Walmart. On June 12, 2004, he married Sandra G. Weil in Huron, where they made their home.
