Terry graduated from Silo High School in 1974 and studied industrial arts at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant. He was a gifted machinist and had a successful career working for Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, Texas before he retired in 2016. Terry enjoyed working on state-of-the-art military aircraft technology and spent time in South Korea assisting with their military aircraft program.

After a few years, Terry returned to Lake Worth and resumed his career as a machinist. In addition, he taught industrial art classes at a local college. Terry also enjoyed martial arts and collecting antiques.
