He graduated from Borden High School and attended Southeastern Christian College in Winchester, KY, graduating in 1962 from the Bible Institute. He and Sandra Dickson married in Dallas in August of 1962.  He ministered to churches in TX, KY, IN, and LA.  He was the Administrator of Maple Manor Christian Home in Sellersburg, IN for 17 years and retired from there.  He preached at Henryville Church of Christ before and after his 17 years at Maple Manor and until his health prevented it.
