He began his first entrepreneurial venture at the age of 20 by starting a supply business which he sold some nine years later. He has owned several different businesses over the years and built and managed two commercial real estate properties. In his later years, he always said he was working for the Lord and wanted to give to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He didn't believe in retirement. He was a workaholic.
He loved teaching the senior men's Sunday School Class at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church for over 20 years. He loved the Word of God and believed it to be God's Final Authority, the only truth.
