At Koch Industries he was Supervisor of Schedulers of Product Movement. At Plains Pipeline he was Director of Engineering Western Division.

Hobbies were wide-spread: water skiing, reading, travel, time with family (especially grandchildren), dancing whether it was ballroom or country two-steppin', politics (who wants to debate?), OU football, problem solving, cars and boating.
