Shortly after high school, he met the love of his life, Abbigale Williamson, and they were married in 1978 and had three boys. He began delivering parts for the SCDOT in 1978 and worked his way up to Procurement Officer by 1998. He later worked for State Procurement. There he served as President of SCAGPO in 2003. In 2004, he joined ITMO and later became the Purchasing Coordinator for Lexington School District 5. Finally, in 2016 he retired from the University of South Carolina as Program Coordinator. He loved Clemson Tiger football and coached many football and basketball teams over the years. He loved helping others and serving his church and community. Of all his accomplishments, he would say these things pale in comparison to the love his savior Jesus Christ had upon him when he became a child of God.
