He graduated from Ennis High School in 1986. In his youth he was very active in Future Farmers of America and continued to support his children, niece and many others in their endeavors of FFA. He played drums for Henry Rejcek Polka Band, Lone Star Czechs, Jak-se-do, Second String Band, and filled in for many others throughout the years. You could always find him next to the stage listening to the music when not playing. He was a devout listener to the Sunday Morning Polka Show every week.
