He began his college football career at University of Memphis, and later transferred to Carson Newman University where he earned a degree in Education and was a starting member of the 1983 National Championship Team.

He later joined Trane Air Conditioning where he was employed over 25 years and was the recipient of numerous awards. He was in Trane's Top Ten Club several times. As a leader he won five (5) Pacesetter Awards given to the top sales office within the Trane organization. He finished his career as the District Manager of the Kentucky-Tennessee Dealers Sales Office and was presented with Ingersol Rand's Presidents Award, the highest award given within the Trane-Ingersol Rand organization.

Survivors include his devoted wife Joan Paucek Sheldon, a sister Sandra Oaks (Carl), brothers Richard Sheldon (Beverly) and Harry Sheldon Jr. (Jeanna), several nieces and nephews, and pets Harry, Chloe and Nikita along with all the Trane Dealers, many loving friends and family.
