Courtney established a private dental practice in Upland, California where he practiced dentistry for several years. He also taught dentistry as an associate professor of dentistry at Loma Linda University for several years.

During those years Courtney was an avid photographer who especially was interested in photographing automobile racing-related subjects as he reveled in Formula One, Indy Car, and NASCAR automobile racing which led Courtney to take race car driving lessons and attend various automobile races where he would photograph the race cars. He also was able to interview many race car drivers and pit crew members in the paddocks for the racing themed radio show that he hosted for a few years.

As Courtney grew spiritually in the admonition of the Lord, he became active in health-related ministries. He studied about natural health remedies relating to the herbs, minerals, and vitamins in the foods that we eat for natural healing. He also enthusiastically grew herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Consequently, he became involved in medical mission trips to countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Romania where he provided dental care and taught about health reform, and natural healing.

As an outgrowth of Courtney’s love for the Lord, he taught Sabbath School, and gave talks on health reform, natural healing, and Bible prophecies, and gave online Bible studies which covered the aforementioned subjects. He also authored a book entitled, God's Guarantee – The Divine Plan for Victorious Christian Living.

Courtney is survived by his mother Barbara Ruth Jackson, and his brother Charles Jackson, Jr., and his sister Delilah Jackson-Johnson, and a bevy of friends and relatives.
