He was a Professor of Art at Cal State University of San Bernardino, retiring after teaching over 40 years. He loved for his Art, teaching, and his students. It was hard to retire when poor health forced the issue. Rugby was another important activity in his life, both playing and refereeing. for many years he coached a little league team in Colton.
