Later his family moved to Dallas Texas where, with his brothers and sisters, enjoyed country living including horses and outdoor activities. Then, his family moved to Ft Lauderdale Florida where life was so different, with beaches, boating and surfing; then as an adult he moved to the country outside of Liberty Tennessee where he enjoyed gardening and being a cattleman; then eventually moving to Smithville Tennessee.

Some of his hobbies and interests over the years were: Flying, Surfing, Boating, Motocross Racing, IDPA Pistol and Rifle Marksmanship, Wado-ryu Karate, Flint-knapping, Cattleman, Making Indian Jewelry and Woodturning.
