A lifelong resident of the Jefferson City area, Chopper attended grade school at St. Peters School, Helias High School and later graduated from Jefferson City High School.

Chopper had a love for the outdoors, whether he was fishing or swimming, he was at home near the water. He was an avid sports fan, especially loved rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Cardinals. He loved playing darts, dancing, bowling, barbequing with a cold beer in hand and rock and roll music. He looked forward to peaceful getaways to the Lake of the Ozarks. Chopper will always be known for his contagious smile, laid back attitude and approachable demeanor. He loved people and was able to strike up conversation with anyone he saw.
