Boyd was a graduate of Thayer High School with the class of 1976. He then moved to the Kansas City area, where he lived for many years. For a while, he worked as a maintenance millwright. Then he became employed as a heavy steel fabricator for over 30 years, in which his duties included welding and shop foreman. During this time, he also taught welding part-time for 13 years at the Kansas City Metropolitan Community College. He retired in 2011. Soon thereafter, he moved back to Thayer to take care of his mother.
