When Ernest was young, his family was living at the time in the community of "Oil Center" (on recent maps, the town is named Oildale, located about 6 miles north of Bakersfield). He went to school there. One day the house burned, so the family lived in a tent for a year or so, then they moved into an old house.

Ernest was a printer by trade, working in his early years for area newspapers and printing businesses. In 1934, he purchased Peerless Printers, a printing and rubber stamp business in Bakersfield. He operated Peerless Printers from 1934 to 1960, during which time the business expanded and became very successful. He sold most of the business in 1960 to his daughter, Doris, and her husband, Martin. He continued to work for another 10 years, retiring in 1970.

He married Nellie on 24 May 1919. After Nellie passed away, he married Lula May Hancock in 1974.
