He attended the University of Alabama and Alabama A&M University and graduated a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science. He spent his career defending our country as a Department of Defense contractor for Technology Service Corporation and Teledyne Brown Engineering.
He was an avid swimmer and outdoorsman who enjoyed duck hunting, fishing, canoeing, and spending time on the farms in Arkansas and Tennessee. He was a wise, knowledgeable man; he was someone whom peers often turned to for advice and leadership. He had a quick wit and a knack of turning the most serious situation into a humorous one. He took solace in and received peace from Christ, he was a steadfast friend to so many, and he was a beloved husband and father.
