He was so successful they offered him a Regional Manager position for 7 states based in Denver, Co. But he turned it down to answer God's call on his life to be a minister. He began his calling as Pastor of the Grandview Park Church of God (now Grandview) in 1961 where pastored for 42 years. During those years at Grandview he also taught public high school World Cultures and US History to support the family while growing the church.

He is responsible for almost single handedly building 2 church buildings, a parsonage and a family life center while at Grandview.

Throughout his love for adventure he had many hobbies and experienced some wonderful travels. He sponsored high school clubs and his hobbies included: white water rafting guide, hunting, fishing, mountain climbing, skydiving, motorcycle trips across the USA. The Pittsburgh’s Explorers Club invited him to travel to Africa where he climbed Mt Kenya. During an Educational Sabbatical he traveled to India where he met and talked with Indira Ghandi.

He had a very full life, but his finest attribute was a Pastor’s heart... a true Shepherd.
