He was a 1922 graduate of Wooster College where he was a member of the track team for three years. He was hired as a math teacher at the high school here in 1925 and was appointed head basketball, track and football coach. When his coaching duties were split in 1929 he was named head track coach.

His athletes won county meets 20 times, finished second 22 times and third twice.
