He attended LSU prior to joining the Army Air Corps in July 1940. He was commissioned a 2nd Lt. in January 1943 upon completion of OCS (Officer Candidate School). Upon the end of his WWII service he was released from active duty in 1946. He resided in Albuquerque, NM and New Orleans, LA prior to active duty recall in June 1950 during the Korean crisis.
