He became known for sporting his suspenders at work and in his leisure. He was an avid bowler in many leagues and tournaments over the years. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and mushroom hunting with his family. He spent many hours at the track participating in stock car racing and drag racing. He won numerous trophies and awards in bowling, archery, and racing. He was a passionate NASCAR fan and his favorite driver was Dale Earnhardt. As passionate as he was about NASCAR, he always loved music. He played in a band for several years; playing drums and bass guitar. He drew inspiration from Elvis and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
