Educated in Lincoln, Nebraska, he was a graduate of East High School followed by various employment in the retail sector.
Dedicated to physical fitness, he was also an avid cyclist. He was noted for his interests in drawing and a wide scope of reading with a hunger to learn more. He was a kind man, forgiving, and loved his family deeply.
Baptized into the Christian faith on September 5, 1976, at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Carroll, Nebraska, he publicly professed his faith in confirmation on May 5, 1991 at Christ Lutheran Church, Lincoln.
