He was employed by Continental Telephone which required him to move across the southeastern United States, and he would later retire as the regional manager. As an avid hunter, he remarked in high school that he wanted to be successful in business and to able to travel the world on various hunter expeditions, and he did just that. One of his proudest hunting excursions was to South Africa. He could also be summarized as an outdoorsman for his enjoyment of different fishing trips to Alaska and other places.
