Some of his many adventures included serving his Lord as pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Canon City, Colorado for a short time and serving his community here at home as an Angleton Volunteer Fireman for several years. Over the years, he turned his passion of hunting, the outdoors and shooting sports into various, local businesses including Moonlight Taxidermy, Southwest Muzzleloaders Supply, Brazos Gun Exchange and Dance Firearms Company. He won many industry awards by including our rich Texas history into his reproductions and was very proud to have his hometown stamped on every gun barrel. In 1986, he was honored by Gov.
