He was intrepid and loved to travel. He believed the best way to dispel ignorance was through learning about other peoples and cultures. He had a passion for linguistics and was an avid reader, writer, and photographer. His craft was teaching. He taught at Green Cove Springs Junior High School in Clay County, Florida, where he served as their chair of the English Department.
