In his younger years, he danced grass until one day he stopped. He went to school in Poplar for a short while until he went to school in Billings Junior High, then moved to Havre. He talked about being a Havre Blue Pony while he was in sports until he decided to come back.

He and Samantha married on Feb. 14, 2022.

He then started going to college for two years for welding. He liked sports. He played basketball or even just shooting around or throwing a football back and forth. He liked taking his children fishing, swimming or anywhere to spend time outdoors. He went to sun dances a couple times. He loved cruising, hanging out with his family and friends.

In September 2022, he first got sick. He became okay and slowly healed to where he wanted to go try playing machines. He liked to play cards, whist or spades. He would laugh at the ones he beat because
