Elvis was a professional boxer as a young man, fighting under the name of "Mickey McGuire". He gave up that profession at the urging of his wife. Around 1940 he was employed as a mechanic by Anders Studebaker Company, advancing to shop foreman before the Agency closed in the mid 1950's. During World War II, he maintained Stearman PT-17's military trainers at the Tuscaloosa airport. He later enlisted United State Seabees, also repairing engines. Elvis continued to work as a shop foreman for various civilian firms as well, working into his seventies.
