The San Diego Padres drafted him in the 12th round in 1968 out of State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota, and the Washington Senators, the franchise that became the Rangers, took him in the fourth round of the 1969 secondary-phase draft from Florida State University.

In 1993 he returned to State College of Florida as an assistant baseball coach for the Manatees.
