He is since 1977 an economics teacher at Vanguard High School in Ocala (FL) and he formed together with Ira J. Paul in 1999 the organization Teachers for Better Education (TBE).

The Alexis de Tocqueville Institution is a public policy research organization that has championed school choice nationwide.'"

Around that time also Mr. Paul was involved in the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution (AdTI) as can be seen at the end of an article Ira J. Paul wrote for EducationNews.org on September 20, 2001:"'[Ira J. Paul is] a fellow with the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution in Arlington, Va'"
