After serving in the Army, he married Marjorie Korngiebel, who he met at a dance at the Marigold Ballroom. He worked in manufacturing, as an electrician and as a welder prior to serving in the ministry full-time for 6 years at a Christian family camp. He enjoyed going on mission trips to Mexico, playing musical instruments, dreaming up inventions, learning Spanish, telling jokes, and playing with the grandchildren.
