He served a professorship on faculty at the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music between 1976 and 1999 - and had a large body of his works published by Boosey & Hawkes.

His most well-known and widely performed works include his piano sonata, String Quartet No. 2 and his 'Elegiac' Symphony - dedicated to the death of his first-born son.
