He attended Leicester High School and Carson Newman College and majored in natural history and education at UNC-Chapel Hill. He taught night school at Asheville-Biltmore College (now UNC-Asheville) as well as in seven Buncombe County schools, including Reynolds High School and Hall Fletcher and West Buncombe Elementary Schools.
  
  He attended the Claude Love Law School and passed the bar exam in 1937 and began a highly successful part-time law practice until his retirement in 1998 at the age of 88. Following his retirement he became active as a certified lay speaker for the United Methodist Church, leading worship services in 115 different churches during a 30-year period. He was a member of Snow Hill United Methodist Church and served as a lay leader for the Asheville District. He was also a member of Gideons International. In 2002 he received a distinguished alumni award from UNC-Chapel Hill School of Education for his work as an educator.
