Dale;
You have a few options to choose from, from self study on the internet both free and paid, to books to formal classes.
I recommend going the ARRL site and poke around there a bit. You’ll find lots of information there about ham radio and licensing. I would also recommend joining one of the local clubs which will get you networking immediately.
Don’t hesitate to ask direct questions, most hams are happy to help anyone get started.

Thanks
