He graduated from Manteo High School and proceeded to North Carolina State University where he graduated from the Air Force ROTC Program.

An active member of Mount Olivet United Methodist Church, he was an extraordinary Sunday School Teacher. He served as lay leader, served on many committees and was a leader in the Emmaus Community.
