John attended Greenville High School and went on to graduate with a BA in business from The University of North Texas. In 1967, John married his college sweetheart, Renee Davis, his devoted wife of 56 years. After graduating from The University of North Texas, he became a State Farm agent and proudly served the community of DeSoto, TX for 36 years. Together, John and Renee built a life centered around their two children, Amy and Jason.
