He attended Auburn University for two years and then returned to Mobile in 1947 to join the workforce at the Gulf Ship Corporation, Chickasaw, AL for 3 years. In 1950, he was drafted during the Korean War callups and served in the U.S. Army in Germany during his three years of military service. After his service ended, he returned to Mobile and went to work at Palmer-Baker Engineers and then later as a Civil Engineer at Brown and Root until he eventually retired. He was also a long-time sailor who competed in numerous races out of the Fairhope Yacht Club for many years and a member of several Mystic organizations, who paraded each year for well over 60 years.
