Sergeant Holland was born in Hartford, Alabama, graduated from Geneva County High School and attended Wallace College in Dothan, Alabama. He enlisted in 1981 as a drummer and percussionist, graduated from the United States Air Force Audio Engineering Technical School in 1991 and cross-trained to audio engineer.
