From the late 1940s through the mid-1980s he taught at the Pasadena City College, the University of California at Berkeley, Pratt Institute and the California State University in Los Angeles among several other institutions. In 1951 he made his first etching and mounted his first solo exhibition at the Felix Landau Gallery in Los Angeles.
