He was a graduate of East Tennessee State University and held a bachelor's degree in computer animation, a master's degree in education from the University of Wisconsin, and had begun work on his doctoral dissertation there, as well. Greater than his love of learning, however, was his love of music. He was a master guitarist, frequently compared to the great ones, e.g., Van Halen, and performed in several venues over the course of his life. He was also a composer and had written over forty songs. He will be missed by many in the musical circles he inhabited. A follower of Christ, he was faithful to study the Holy Bible each day.
