He was born and raised on a farm in Burley, Idaho; served an LDS mission in Canada; became an Air Force fighter pilot, then a United Airlines pilot until he retired. He shared his musical talents with many throughout his life, from singing to playing the saw. He lived a very productive life and bravely endured ALS for over a year until he succumbed to its inevitable outcome.
