He began his 27-year career with the Oregon State Police in 1979, serving as a cadet in Wallowa and Deschutes counties. In 1984 he became a full-time OSP trooper in Lakeview as a patrol officer and then as a game officer.

He was a man of few words but had a great sense of humor and was sensitive to the needs of people around him. He was very much a team player, and you were never to say "never." To him, it did not matter what other people thought as long as it was right for you.

His co-workers felt he was one of the best game officers in the state. He competed in gun shoots throughout the Northwest and was known as a top marksman.

He was a very active hunter and greatly enjoyed chukar hunting. At wildlife fundraising events he could always be found perusing the silent auction table trying to spot one of his friends’ bids, joking that he was going to bid them up if they went home early.
