Following his career path in video production, he took a position with Lockheed Martin and made the move to Fort Worth. Soon after, on a blind date ski trip to Colorado, he met the love of his life, Vicki Hillin.

Travel, camping, fly fishing and skiing were their favorite pastimes taking them to Colorado, Alaska, Big Bend and many places in Europe. In retirement, they enjoyed being with their kitties, gardening, building bird feeders, cooking at home, reading the mail and watching the news together.
