He grew up during the dust bowl days, on a cattle ranch in western Kansas and was inducted into the army soon after graduating from high school. He was stationed at the Hanford Atomic Works in Hanford Washington where he suffered radiation burns. When he was discharged due to his health, he returned to the ranch life of breaking horses and working with cattle. He enrolled in college at Panhandle A&M in Goodwill, Oklahoma and graduated from McNeese State University in Louisiana. He was later employed with Swift Packing Company in Ft. Worth, Texas. This job led him further into the cattle industry with managing a cattle ranch in the state of Georgia.
When family problems arose he traveled back to Western Kansas to help with the family ranching business. He later began working with American Cyanamid Company, selling paramedical medicines to veterinarians and feed dealers throughout the Midwestern states. He was promoted with this company through out his career.
One such promotion began while selling feed medication and doing research with the United States Government to discover better ways to protect livestock against the disease of anaplasmosis. Another promotion was achieved while he managed a successful sales division, where he traveled world wide promoting their products.
While he was employed with American Cyanamid Company he was buying cattle and managing ranches or pastures he leased throughout the United States. After his retirement from American Cyanamid Company he became an Ultra Sound Technician, doing research on the different breeds of cattle, and also teaching this profession at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. At this time he is employed by the largest livestock auction in the United States buying and selling cattle for Superior Livestock Auction.lihat lebih sedikit
