He studied law at the University of Miami circa 1930, then moved to Los Angeles by 1935. He married three times, including to Betty Jane McIvor (1919-2014). According to his World War 2 draft registration card which he filed on November 19th 1940, he was living in Los Angeles California and was working for the California Casuality Industry Exchange. The 1940s census shows that he was an attorney 'working on his own account' and lived at 629 South Hobart Ave in Los Angeles.
