After teaching school and managing his own home remodeling business he returned to the university for a master's degree in botany. He continues to help organize the Flora of Arkansas committee that is now preparing a state flora.

For five years he served in the Southern Regional Office of the Forest Service as a legal specialist for biological and physical resources dealing with concerns the general public had for the management of Forest Service lands. Areas of concern were related to wildlife, botany, range, soil, water, and air as it relates to land management concerns.
