After graduating from Texas Chiropractic College in June, 1929 he went to west Texas where he practiced a few months in each of the following places – with Dr. George Huffman, Spur, Texas; with Dr. T. A. McIlroy, Ralls, Texas and at Loveland, Texas in his own office.
He moved to Marshall in 1930, where he has practiced since. He has been active in Marshall Civic activities and in two lodges. He is a member of the First Baptist Church where he has been active in various Church Organizations, especially as teacher of two separate Men’s Sunday School Classes.
Over a period of several years he has written a number of articles that were published in Texas Chiropractor and other state chiropractic publications. He has lectured in many places on some of the same subjects that he has had published in chiropractic magazines. One lecture of the series was given twelve times in and out of the state in 1955-56, on the subject, “A Man of Vision”, which is a eulogy to Dr. D. D. Palmer. He was on the T.S.C.A.Lecturing Panel for three years to help conduct seven two-day educational seminars for Texas chiropractors in various cities of the state.
He has been active in East Texas Chiropractic Science Club and TSCA District #6 Society and has held every office in both organizations. For three years he has been active in Marshall Share-an-Idea Club. He has been called on by many, in and out of state, for an organizational format and has freely given assistance in forming new clubs. Many Share-an Idea Clubs have formed in various parts of the United States and Canada, as a result. The sole objective of the Marshall Share-an-Idea Club is to help chiropractic – especially TSCA District #6 chiropractors. He drew up a program format which was published in one of Dr. Jim Parker’s books, which since has been distributed to over 3000 graduates of Parker School of Office Procedure.
His service has been gratis to the profession and all his professional activities have been donated fully and completely with no consideration of financial remuneration – only to help chiropractors and chiropractic. This has been his plan of going beyond the line of duty.
He was awarded the Keeler Plaque in 1956 for unselfish, outstanding service to chiropractic.
