He played for the Varsity Blues while attending the University of Toronto and was part of the 1951 team that captured the Yates intercollegiate championship, a team that has since been inducted into the University of Toronto’s Sports Hall of Fame.  His athletic ability did not go unnoticed as he was drafted by the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League where he would play in both the 1953 and 1954 seasons.

While serving in the military in Duluth, Minnesota he earned a master’s degree in 1972. After a career in the RCAF he attained his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology at Pennsylvania State University in 1977, and during his time on campus became an avid Penn State football fan.
