This self-taught Kanawha County native carved stone and wood. After leaving the Army in 1955, he started carving headstones and then bigger sculptures. He made his own tools from old car parts.
Some of his best-known works include a bear statue at the former West Virginia University of Technology campus in Beckley and a beaver at Bluefield High School. His smaller wooden sculptures were often left unpainted. Several of his stone and wood carvings are in the West Virginia State Museum.
