He has been a faculty member in the School of Music at West Chester University since 1968, As Professor of Instrumental Music at WCU he serves as the Director of the Wind Ensemble and Chamber Winds and as Director of the Summer Elementary, Junior High and High School Music Workshops and Camps.

For twenty-five years he performed as Principal Trumpet of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra and as Substitute Trumpet with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
