Lyons was born in Pensacola and attended Clark College on a football scholarship, working summers for Flowers Baking Co. When he injured his knee his senior year, his hopes of playing in the NFL ended and Lyons turned his attention to Flowers Baking Co. full time in 1985.

He started with a bread delivery route but rose through the ranks to become a vice president in 2005. In 2015, Lyons was honored with the Spirit Award at Flowers Foods.

Lyons serves on the AGA board of directors, a position he’s held for five years.
