He lived in Carnegie his whole life and farmed in the Carnegie area. As a young man he loved to work with his cattle and pigs. As he got older he worked in his watermelon patch and garden. Pee Wee started his day at three thirty a.m. each day where he has been employed with the newspaper for twelve years. He only missed one day for the birth of his granddaughter Jada, where he was known as "Papa Wee". He then drove the bus route morning and afternoon then made his way to Mt. View to work at the grocery store as a butcher, which he loved serving and visiting the Mt. View people. Pee Wee loved his daughters with his whole heart. He started Daja clogging and singing at a young age. He loved listening to Daja sing. Pee Wee started Brianna with T-Ball at age three where he helped coach until she was twelve years of age.
