He was a talented calf roper and nicknamed "Cowboy" in high school. He won a State Rodeo Championship, competed in National competition and dreamed of moving into the professional calf roping ranks.

He met his wife Stephanie in 2005, proposing to her in his own true fashion via the score board at a women's college basketball game. They married in 2006 and a few years later built a house together on their farm in Republic.  He attended First Christian Church in Republic.
