He lived in Mullan, Idaho until the age of sixteen when they moved to Chewelah, Washington. He had asthma and hay fever. This caused him to have to stay indoors during the summers so he learned to make cookies and cakes.

He graduated from Chewelah High School. Afterwards he worked for a year on a dairy farm but decided that job wasn't what he wanted to do so he went to Spokane Community College in Spokane, Washington where he met his future wife, Gay Lee Braten.

They got married on the October 12, 1969, in Spokane, Washington. From this beautiful union, seven children were born: Reino (Julie) Macki, Jessica (David) Brooks, Carmen (James) Chatterley, Trevor (Mayumi) Macki, Andrea Macki, Kristin (Reg) Donkin and Leia (David) Jones .
