From 1947 to 1949, he served in the South Carolina House of Representatives. In addition, as a member of the Bennettsville Rotary Club, he served as president and secretary and had perfect attendance for more than thirty years of his forty-nine years of membership. His fellow members named him a Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International; and
Whereas, in further giving of himself, he served on the Marlboro General Hospital Board of Trustees and was instrumental in the creation of Marlboro Park Hospital, also serving as chair of Marlboro Hospital Charities and on the board of the First National Bank of Bennettsville and the advisory board of Wachovia Bank; and
