He spent his summer vacations from the 1930s to 1940s working on farms in the Eugene area. He loved picking cherries and beans, sometimes picking 500 pounds and earning a total of $12.50 for the day. In 1952 he was a graduate of Arizona. In November of 1952 he was drafted into the United States Army, serving 2 years in the Korean War as a medical corps. He was trained to teach X-ray at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. In January 1955 after finishing his army obligations, he entered the ministry in his home state of Oregon. He ministered in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado and New Mexico. He was grateful for health that enabled him to continue in the ministry for 40 years.
