            After completing 4 years of performing in US Air Force Bands, he began teaching in the Longview School District in 1967. He directed Middle School and High School Bands in the Longview, Pine Tree, Spring Hill, and Kilgore School Districts until his retirement in 1995.

He is a charter member of the East Teas Symphonic Band and continues to lead the percussion section during the band’s 29th season.
