He coordinates the weekly After Noon Concert Series at the university chapel and is lecturer in music and instructor of organ. He also maintains a private studio and is rehearsal accompanist for Princeton Pro Musica. In 2016, he received the Alumni Merit Award from Westminster Choir College of Rider University.
