He was the captain of the team on its first overseas tour to Florida. He played a major role in all the tournaments, and the Guyana Softball Cup, hosted by GFSCA over the years. He also was a player and then executive of the famous Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) and mounded superstars such as Ramnaresh Sarwan, Reon King, and Leon Johnson just to name a few.
He was a popular TV personality hosting a daily morning programme with NTN and cricket announcer whenever there was regional or international cricket in Guyana.
