He joined Parkhill, Smith and Cooper, Inc., of Lubbock, in 1956 as a design engineer.

These include: the city of Austin’s Govalle Wastewater Treatment Plant Nitrification study, the City of Amarillo’s Hollywood Road Wastewater Treatment Plant Study and the City of Lubbock’s 98th Street Sanitary Sewer study.

Additional water system projects for which he has had major management and design responsibilities include: the City of Abilene’s water treatment plant, the City of Lubbock’s Canyon Lakes water supply system, and White Sands Missile Range water distribution system in New Mexico and the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority’s supervisory control system north of Amarillo.

Previously, he spent four years at the Texas Highway Department in San Angelo, Texas, as an assistant resident engineer and five years with Phillips Petroleum Company in Borger, Texas, as a civil engineer.
