He graduated from Millington, Tennessee High School in 1965, continued his education at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and graduated in 1970. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, a member of the Arkansas Razorback Track Team and was an Arkansas Razorback Cheerleader. He had a 30-year career at Falcon Jet Corporation of Little Rock,
