Malcolm was a graduate of Fenton High School and a continuing education student with the University of Maryland.  He was always a student of the Holy Bible; always firm in his faith and convictions.

Malcolm spent his early life farming rice, soybeans, cattle, and horses.  He then worked in heavy construction supervision and was sent to Bahrain and off-shore Egypt.  Later he worked with American Mission Hospital, Bahrain School, and the U. S. Navy.  Back in the states he was self-employed with a rental property business.  One of his greatest pleasures in later life was working with young people in Hunter Safety and shotgun shooting.
