While attending Ricks College, he became the owner of Total Equipment in Rexburg, Idaho. He married Amy Davidson April 8, 1986 in the Idaho Falls Temple and immediately became dad to Brittney, Aubrey, and Bill, and later to McKay, Melody, and Kendra. He was blessed with two sons-in-law that he loved and admired, Adam Seeholzer and Micah Pack.
