It continued into college where he became color guard captain for the Baylor University Golden Wave marching band.
He marched his age out year with The Cavaliers from Rosemont, Il.
In 1988 he traveled to NJ for the summer with a college friend to march with the Bushwackers. In 1991, he finally realized the commute would be shorter, so he picked up his life and moved from Texas to New Jersey.

He spent two winters marching with Just Class World Guard from Baltimore, MD. In 2002 he joined Blessed Sacrament World Guard from Cambridge, Mass. in 2003, at the age of 40, he was named captain of Blessed Sacrament, where he served until he retired after the 2004 season.
