He was a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church where he worked with the youth group and was a Scoutmaster for 30 years. While serving as Scoutmaster, he organized a committed committee that had one of the strongest troops in the Sioux Council. Some projects carried out were the first cleanup project for River Park at 26th street and the Sioux River. They did the first tree planting at the Lake Lakota site at Newton Hills. He also planted trees and set up the wildlife shelter for the Game Fish and Parks Department. He planted trees for the Sioux Falls Park Department and the Boy Scout Camp at Newton Hills.

During his years as Scoutmaster, 54 boys received their Eagle Scout Rank. He was an adult leader that took 48 boys to Washington D.C. Camp A.P. Hill for the 75th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. He had received the Scouts key in Cubbing and Boy Scouts. He had also received the Silver Beaver and the Lamb award. He was a Vigil member of the Order of the Arrow and had received their Founders Award. Mayor Mike Schirmer had presented him with the Dell Duncan Days Award.

He held Christmas parties with gifts for the Rosebud families and children over 3 years of age. He had also served on the St. Dysmas and the Prison Congregations of America Board. He was a superintendent for Sioux Falls Construction for 28 years.
