Following in his dad's footsteps in woodworking, he joined Terrill Manufacturing, his career spanning for over 42 years.

Never letting his woodworking skills get dusty, he had a passion for making furniture, pens, and other novelties out of deer antlers that he had collected over the years. Turning mesquite limbs into works of art, which included crosses of many shapes and sizes. He held a passion for fishing and hunting, teaching his children and grandchildren the joy and respect for the sport. He was involved in scouting for several years, seeing his son become an Eagle Scout.
