Troy Curtis Meiers was born on May 6, 1953, in Stanley, ND, to Beverly and E.C. “Doc” Meiers. He grew up ranching with his family along the Missouri River.

He was a graduate of Williston High School in 1971 and went on to have a fulfilling career working in the North Sea and traveling with many other pipeline jobs.
