He earned a master's in business administration from Harvard University in 1955 and served in the Army from 1955 to 1958. He married Kristi Shipnes Cassin in 1955 in Houston.

He wrote Animal Stories for People in 1961 and Quality of Mercy in 1966. His poetry has been published in Art Times, The Poet's Pen, American Cowboy, Ariel and other publications.
