At 17 he joined the Navy and served for 6 years as a Seabee before enlisting in the Army where he served 20 years in infantry and air missiles systems. His career took him overseas to Germany, Italy, and Korea. After completing his bachelor's degree he went on to work for the civil service and became Chief of Maintenance at William Beaumont Army Medical Hospital, where he worked until he retired in 1986.
