John and his parents moved to Devine when he was 3 years old and have lived in Devine ever since. He graduated from Texas A & M University and taught Agriculture in Devine for a couple of years.

John was an approved Brahman judge and judged many Brahman shows. He had served on the American Brahman Breeders Association Executive Committee; he was President of the Texas Brahman Association from 1976-1978. He had traveled to many foreign countries selling Brahman cattle.
He owned and operated Loggins & Lilly for several years. Later he had a used Equipment Yard, but he has always been a rancher and raised Brahman Cattle.
