He attended St. Mary’s Grade and High School, having graduated in 1985. Upon graduation, he joined the National Guard, serving for four years, receiving an honorable discharge. He attended ND State College of Science in Wahpeton becoming a welder. Over the years, he was employed by Koffler Manufacturing, Steffes Manufacturing, a workover rig for a short time and Walmart.
Farm life was calling him and it was at this time that he began working for himself and building his future as a farmer. He enjoyed country living with all it had to offer, especially his cattle.
