He was a Professor of sculpture at CCS for 34 years and served two years as Fine Arts Chairman. He exhibited at the Flint Museum of Art (1960), Michigan State University (1985), Bloomfield-Birmingham Art Center (2006) and the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum at Saginaw Valley State University (2016) where a later casting from this edition was exhibited and illustrated in the exhibition catalogue.
