He founded and managed the gospel music group, The Delegates. That ministry kept him quite active throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. After 8 years he became associated with the Grammy Award winners, Howard and Vestal Goodman of Madisonville, KY. He remained with the Goodmans until they retired from their pastorate of the church in Madisonville and later moved to Nashville, TN. He and Sandy moved to the Frankfort area, where he continued his gospel music ministry, performing in numerous churches throughout the area for many years as well as making several recordings.
