Outside of the music classroom, he maintains an active schedule in the matters of music and music education: Artistic director of the Kennebec Valley Chordsmen, the local chapter of Barbershop Harmony Society (1996-2014), as well as many speaking and publishing engagements in the matters of music and its relationship in society.

In 2001, the Maine Music Educators Association bestowed him the honor of Music Educator of the Year, and in 2008 he received the Distinguished Choral Director of the Year award from the Maine chapter of ACDA.
