He taught at Laney for four years. After leaving Laney in 1965, he worked at Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in Augusta until 1970.

Following this distinction, he was promoted to manager. He was also elected to Augusta ́s city council at the age of 29 while working for Metropolitan. He left Metropolitan and went to work for Xerox Corporation in Richmond, Virginia.
