Rotary is in Ernie’s family. His father continues to be active in the Rotary Club of Jonesboro.

In 1991, Ernie was a short-term Rotary Youth Exchange participant to Austria. Ernie’s Rotary Club involvement began in the Rotary Club of Jonesboro (District 6150) in January of 1997 at the invitation of his father. He continued to be an active Rotarian in the Rotary Club of Carbondale (District 6510 in Illinois) and in the Rotary Club of Troy (District 6880 in Alabama) and regularly attended the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge - Sunrise (District 6200 in Louisiana) while working at LSU before moving back ‘home’ to Arkansas in 2005. He has had many years of perfect attendance. He also helped start Rotaract Clubs at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and Troy University.
