He graduated from Texas Tech where he met and married Carol Shilcutt. He was in the oil service industry as a geophysicist his entire career, which took him to over 100 countries. Stan was a member emeritus of The Society of Exploration Geophysicists, and a member of Sandia Presbyterian Church. He and his family lived in France and Australia and later settled back in Texas. His passions always took him and his family to the water. Stan would pull his children and friends on water skis from dawn to dusk. As a result, for 48 years the family has been avid boaters. He retired in 1989 after successfully building his own geophysical firm. In retirement, Stan and Carol travelled extensively. They enjoyed countless days in their houseboat and on jet skis at Lake Powell, as well as many miles in their RV.
