As a child, Von was adventurous and curious. With his father, he grew up enjoying the outdoors. He enjoyed golfing, hunting, fishing, leather working and dirt biking.
Von graduated from Borah High School in 1985.
After high school, he continued his love and passion of being outdoors as well as becoming an avid auto and locomotive mechanic.
Von turned his passion of mechanics into his career as a test electrician at Boise Locomotive from 1986-1999. Later, he began working at Goodyear Tire in the Treasure Valley for many years.
He was a leader and a mentor to many people. He was an amazing friend who was honest, humble, loyal and well respected.

Von lived a fast paced life of non-stop adventure but always made time for his friends and family. From working on friends cars late at night to rafting the Payette River. Von always had a positive and outgoing attitude.
