He played professional football for seven years in the Canadian Football League. An All-East offensive back with the Hamilton Tigercats in 1956, he ended his career as a linebacker and was named the Sarnia team's outstanding defensive player. He starred for Bridgeton, NJ High School before coming to Temple and won three most valuable player awards there. He made the NJ All-State team twice. He was a teacher and coach at Bridgeton High. He was head football coach at Cumberland Regional High in 1977 and 1978 where he was named Cumberland's athletic director in 1978.
