He has appeared as a soloist and clinician in 48 of the 50 states and also throughout Western Europe, Japan, Sweden, Finland, and Bermuda.

He is Past President of T.U.B.A.; the Adjucating Chairman for the Leonard Falcone International Euphonium & Tuba Festival; and serves on the boards of Colonial Tuba-Euphonium Institute and the Quorum Chamber Arts Collective. His teaching philosophy, based on many years of having to produce every day as a professional musician, is practical and straightforward.
