He taught painting, drawing, and lithography for 16 years at Ventura College, and in 1998 moved his wife and three daughters to Visalia, California, to take a full-time professorship at College of the Sequoias (COS), where he founded the lithography program. He retired from COS in May 2018, after 36
total years of teaching drawing and lithography. He is proud to call himself a lithographer.
