He competed on the track and field team at Lynchburg College in the 1960s, and graduated with a chemistry degree in 1970[2]. He later returned to Lynchburg College for a graduate degree in physical education and secondary education in 1975[2]. He is a member of the University of Lynchburg Sports Hall of Fame[3].
He was selected for the Olympic team in 1980, but the U.S. boycotted the games. A 2014 alumni magazine of Virginia Tech, where he was a graduate student in 1980, described his disappointment: "You just spent four years making progress and improvement, and you end up not being able to use it. Between '76 and '80, I think I set seven world records. ... I was ready to compete."[4]
