The firm's work can be seen in a number of commercial buildings, parks, and bridges across Western Maryland and the tri-state area.

He served on boards for the Washington County Free Library, Western Maryland Museum of Fine Art, Penmar Development Corporation, and Hagerstown Regional Airport. He was a member of John Wesley Methodist Church in Hagerstown and served on their board of trustees. He was an avid woodworker, gardener and enjoyed traveling and watching Virginia Tech sports.
