He taught history, economics, and current events at a wide variety of schools starting with Hill Junior High, South High School, East High School and then "post-retirement" at Cornerstone Christian Academy for 10 years.

Never to be one to let the grass grow under his feet, also during the teaching years was in the National Guard Army Reserves (where he eventually retired as a Lt. Colonel), created and ran RW Painting home painting company in the summers, and had an active real estate license, owned rental properties and took his family on numerous camping trips to find fish and raspberries.

He gathered friends wherever he went and was the favorite of students, waitresses, clients, co-workers, hospital staff, and in home care professionals. He will be missed by many.
