In 1992 he was selected to start the Government Affairs Department for SouthTrust.

In 2005 he retired from the bank and started his own lobbying firm. Along the way, he served in various civic organizations: President of the Five Points West Merchants Association, Chairman of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce, President of the Kiwanis Club of Lee County and served on the Auburn City Council for 15 years. He is a Mason and a Rotarian. He is a Lifetime Member & past Treasurer of the ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ Alumni Brigade and now serves on the ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ Board of Trustees & Advisors.
