Earl was born on July 24, 1940, in Weatherford, Oklahoma to E.N. and Iva Mae Maynard. He was the youngest of eight children.

Earl spent his early years attending Weatherford schools. He and his family attended the Church of Christ in Weatherford. He worked hard on the family farm from a young age.

He met Janice Roberts at the roller skating rink and they married on June 15, 1962, in Corn, Oklahoma. In 1963 they moved to Arco, Idaho where Karri, Sonya, and Dean were born. The family attended the Baptist Church in Arco.

Earl held the position of Arco Chief of Police, managed the PU Ranch, and owned the Phillips 66 station in Arco. He then began to raise and sell 4-H pigs in numerous states.
