He was the head football coach at Concordia-St. Paul in 1978 and offensive coordinator at Augustana from 1976-77. As a football player at Concordia (Neb.), he earned all-conference honors twice (1963, 1964) and earned team captain, team MVP and Lutheran All-America honorable mention honors in 1964.
