He married Brenda Kay Mortensen, August 8, 1992 in Salt Lake City, Utah, taking her daughter in as his own. From this union they had two more children. They enjoyed square dancing together for 5 years.

In his free time he enjoyed collecting various rocks, crystals and coins, going shooting in the desert with his family, going on adventures and causing mischief.
