After graduating from O'Gorman I took some management courses and started working for the Tempo store in Sioux Falls in 1972. I was transferred to the Aberdeen store in 1977. The company next moved me to Lincoln, Nebraska for a district position. In 1979 I didn't enjoy all the traveling so I stepped down and was moved to Southern California where I was blessed to met my wife Michelle. In 1981 we were moved to Northern California where we still live today.
In 1985 I started a new job with Keebler/Kellogg and retired from there in 2016.
Michelle and I had a small crafting business on the side for a few years. We enjoy traveling around the United States to see the different parts of America.
