His life journey took him to join the Army to become a pilot. He graduated from Helicopter Flight School at Fort Rucker and served three tours in Vietnam. He was shot down seven times and wounded three times. He received the Bronze Star Medal and four Distinguished Flying Crosses for his amazing work as a Light Observation Helicopter Pilot. After leaving the Army, he flew all over the world doing oil exploration mostly as a "long-line" pilot and fighting forest fires. He hung up his "rotor-wings" for good in 1993.
