During his career, he became involved with the Missouri Oil Marketers Association. and the Kansas Petroleum Marketers Association. He lobbied for and against laws that affect marketers and convenience stores. He became President of the Missouri Marketers Association in 1993 and President of the Servco Corporation which was owned by the Kansas Petroleum Marketers Association. He was very proud of his career in the Petroleum business. Always a man of honesty and integrity.
