Maynard lived a simple life. While growing up he farmed, picked rock, milked cows, and all the fun things that came along with being a farmer. As a teenager he was a semi-truck driver who hauled cattle to Chicago, Canada, and Texas. As a young adult he enlisted in the U.S. Army where he served 4 years. He was stationed at Ft.

After completing his stent in the military, Maynard returned to truck driving before working for Frank’s plastering in Sioux City, Iowa where he worked on many projects throughout the Midwest. At this point, Maynard became a member of the Sergeant Bluff voluntary fire department for many years. Maynard then worked for the city of Sergeant Bluff where he retired as maintenance supervisor. He then went to work for Utility Equipment and managed their Sioux City branch. Maynard retired permanently in 2004. After retirement Maynard enjoyed restoring his old tractors and spending time with his grandchildren.
