He was active in several local boards and organizations throughout the time of his employment at the bank. They included the Chandler Lions Club, Trinity Lutheran Church, Chandler Chamber of Commerce, Murray County Economic Development Committee, Red Cross Board, Murray County Republicans, Big Brother Program, Murray County Bankers Association, Bank Administration Institute, and the Murray County Community Education Committee.
