He was one of the top three racquetball players in the world from 1971 to 1976 and in the top ten until 1979, while winning seven National Paddleball Association national titles. In October 1973 he became the second player in history to win a professional racquetball tournament, beating Charlie Brumfield in the final of the NRC Long Beach Pro Am.
