After high school I attended Barton County Community College and worked in the Great Bend area for Marmie Motors and Lindholm Construction. In 1971 I joined the Navy and served in the Western Pacific on a fast attack nuclear submarine (USS Scamp SSN-588) based out of San Diego, California and Hawaii. Later I transferred to recruiting duty in Grand Junction, Colorado and Durango, Colorado. I left the service after 8 1/2 years and returned to Kansas.
We have lived in Kansas since 1979 and I retired from Farm Bureau Financial Services as a Regional Claims Manager in 2003. During the last 17 years with Farm Bureau I managed offices in Salina, Osborne, Concordia and Manhattan. It was while growing up in Pawnee County, Kansas that I learned to love hunting, fishing, motorcycle riding and outdoor sports.
In December 2006 we joined United Country Real Estate, which has been based in Kansas City, Missouri since 1925. In April 2007 we purchased a second United Country Real Estate franchise and opened our office in Coldwater, Kansas. The Coldwater office is in the former Southern Baptist Church on the way to Coldwater Lake where we have a home.
A love of travel has really helped in all of my jobs.
In November 2022 we built a barnaminium on some land near Bennington, Kansas and love country life.
