As a player, he was on the 1947 state championship Ruston High School team. He was the coach at Carroll High School in Monroe in 1973 and at the private Cedar Creek School in Ruston from 1976 to 1978. He received his undergraduate degree at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, then known as Northeast Louisiana State College; he was on the ULM coaching staff from 1974 to 1976.
