While in the military, Max and his brother Floyd's last name was misspelled and they decided to keep it that way.

Max served in the Korean War. After getting out of the service, Max began driving streetcars in Washington, D.C., which became obsolete, after which he began driving buses for DC Transit (renamed Metro), before becoming one of the first original subway operators for Metro (WMATA). He retired as a supervisor of start-up for the Metro subway system in 1986.
