He was a graduate of Truett McConnell University, earning his AA degree. He then enlisted in the US Navy and served as a Radioman 3rd Class, traveling to Morocco, Lebanon and Italy. Once discharged, he earned his BA in Journalism from the University of Georgia and married Claire M. Bowman. After college, they moved to Mobile, Alabama where he began working for Sears Roebuck Company. A couple of years later he transferred to Ocala, Florida with them as the Advertising and Promotions Manager.
