Around 16-17 got certified for S.C.U.B.A. diving by former Navy Seal instructor Jerry Stocker in Jacksonville, IL. Raised with a Christian background and having certain paranormal experiences realized there was logic and reason and a lot more to the story than what was being taught in the churches or the schools. After having a very close encounter with a UFO in 1970 he realized that just because people say they don't exist, doesn't make it so. He knew there was a truth beyond what the people choose to believe and he set out to discover as much truth as humanly possible. UFO Encounters with Bryon Smith. At 19 he moved to Joplin.

He lived in the Ozark hills not far from the lake until the CB business was no longer profitable. At this same time he worked as an electronics technician for one of the popular lake shows known at that time as "Denny Hilton's Country Shindig Show." Also began professional Diving Salvage jobs recovering lost boats and things from the bottom of the lake. At 25-26 he moved to the Camdenton, MO airport where he worked as airport lineman and security for the next 2-3 years. This is where he worked for and got his pilot license, PSEL.
