He appeared on Survivor: Amazon in 2003, where he made the merge but not the jury. He was perceived by the remaining women (that season originally separated the men and the women) as too antifeminist to continue in the game/sit on the jury.

He was 76 and died at home in Walla Walla, WA on October 26, 2022 from Lewy body dementia-related complications.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, and many kids and grandkids.
