After being honorably released after two years of service he and Sheryle moved their growing family back to Provo to start his Dental practice. He had a high standard of excellence at work. His patients and employees meant so much to him throughout his professional career and beyond. He always believed in completing many more hours of Continuing Education than the required to be at the forefront of his profession. He even became a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry. Many patients who have moved away have reported that their new dentist described Sherm's work as excellent. Sherm knew how to work hard and play hard; always carving out time from work to Vacation with Sheryle, his kids, grandkids, and friends. Next to being a caretaker for Sheryle, traveling was his favorite hobby. Sherm believed in community and church service. He served as President Provo District Dental Society, President of the Utah Academy of General Dentistry, Campaign Chair of The United Way of Utah County, Campaign Chair for the BSA, President of the Provo Kiwanis Club, President of the Cougar Club, and President of the Squaw Peak Chapter of the Utah Sons of Pioneers.

In 2002 he and mom left to serve an LDS mission together at the Los Angeles Temple Visitors Center. They served for 12 months. The last 15 years of his life he has been a devoted care taker to his sweetheart, Sheryle, until his own health no longer allowed him to. He loved her, and his posterity fiercely, and always went to great lengths to host parties so his family spent time together often. His family, will be forever grateful for his efforts in building family relationships, and for his strong testimony of Jesus Christ and his Father in Heaven.
