Most of his professional life was spent as a structural designer for large buildings and bridges in Utah and surrounding states. Some major accomplishments are buildings on the University of Utah and Brigham Young University campuses, especially the Marriott Athletic Center. He was pleased with the many LDS Temples that he designed in many parts of the world.

He loved the outdoors and was an avid fly fisherman and hiker. Camping was an enjoyable pasttime even into his 80s. He loved his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and would do anything for them.
