He served as special representa tive of Rotary International under Past Governor Bill Kiker and was instrumental in organizing four new clubs.

He is also a deacon in the Presbyterian Church and a trustee of Flora MacDonald College. His professional affiliations include the State and American societies of engineers and the American Military Engineers. His fraternal memberships include the Masons, Shriners, Elks, and Pythians. He helped organize and is now vice president of the Sons of the Revo lution and the Confederacy.
