He was a teacher at Northeastern Clinton Central School, working primarily with Juniors and Seniors. He also taught writing  and  literature classes at Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh, NY for over forty semesters. Part of that time was spent teaching classes on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base. There he had the chance to teach in the fire station on the flight line as well as other classrooms on base. He also taught at Dannemora State Prison and Altona State prison in the Inmate Higher Education Program. He taught English for thirty six years before retiring and moving to Fletcher.
