At the age of six, J.C. helped his father cut down his first bee tree.  He was hooked and continued to keep bees until he was 16, at which time he began driving big trucks.  At the age of 26 he returned to beekeeping and grew it into a thriving business with his wife, Ruby.  By the 1980's J.C. had the largest apiary in Arkansas and was featured on Traveling Arkansas with Chuck Dovish.  During this time he had over 1500 hives and he continued beekeeping until his last days.

When JC had time away from work, he was an avid hunter, trapper, and fisher.  He enjoyed teaching his son and grandchildren how to hunt, fish and keep bees.  His family and friends know JC as the best of best when it comes to sharp shooting, self-proclaimed to have never lost a bet.
