Lawrence, the son of David and Jan Lawrence of Muleshoe, and the grandson of Paul and Jann Lawrence of Como, and Joyce McDonald and the late Pete McDonald of Yantis, is a 2005 graduate of Texas Tech University in Lubbock. He entered Dental School at the University of Texas, in Houston, in the fall of 2005. He is also the great-grandson of Mrs. Elma Crouch of Sulphur Springs.

"I've survived 'Katrina,' 'Rita,' and 'Ike' while I've been in Houston," quipped Lawrence, following receiving his diploma. "I'm about ready to put Houston in my rear-view mirror!"
