He spent time in Panama during WWII guarding the Panama Canal. He was the produce manager for several grocery stores: Royal Grocery, the City Grocery, IGA Foodliner, and Macey's. He also worked 10 years at Thoikol. He had a good work ethic and impressed many with the large yard and garden he cared for during the summer.

He was a High Priest in the LDS church, and spent many hours in the service of others. He accepted both Ward and Stake callings and loved serving at the baptistry at the Logan temple. But his favorite calling was being a home teacher. He said that he lived in the best neighborhood in the world because his friends and neighbors were so good to him.
