He volunteered in many local groups and on many boards such as the Ohio Junior Jaycees, Boys Club Professional Association, the Sheffield Lake Parks and Recreation Board, Brookside Forum, Brookside PTO and Community Days. His focus on betterment of an individual was a tremendous help to the many at risk youth and prison members with whom he counseled over the years.

Accolades included being named Man of the Year in 1972 by the Ohio Jaycees and awarded the Ken L. Sullivan Youth Service Award as presented by the Ohio Jaycees in 1969.
