He attended law school at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and the University of Kansas City in Missouri where he received his law degree in 1948. In the Air Corps he became one of the nations youngest non-flying lieutenant colonels reaching that rank at the age of 25. He served overseas with the Ninth Air Force. He was always very proud and honored to have served his country during World War II from 1941-1946. He married his 'Long Time Sweetheart' Cora Boman from Lewiston, Utah on December 29, 1941 in Washington, D.C. They shared 'Fifty Golden Years Together'! She passed away on June 3, 1992. He was later sealed to her in the Jordon River Temple. After his release from the military he finished up on his law degree and began practicing law in Salt Lake City in 1948 and continued in this career until his retirement in 1985. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
