He started his career with Chevron in 1967 and retired after 46 years. Thirty-eight of those years he spent working internationally in various supervisory positions and locations.

After his retirement, he spent his time irritating his wife, loving his little red dogs, talking on his flip phone to his high school friends, and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
