After graduating from Reed, he worked in the Portland shipyards during World War II and then taught school in the Vanport, Oregon School District until the 1948 flood destroyed the town.

In 1957, he began teaching high school humanities, English, and orchestra at Bellevue High School, where he taught until retirement in 1984. He was also an avid folk music collector and musician, and he and his wife worked as music and craft teachers at a summer camp on Lopez Island. In 1974, his wife died of cancer, and in 1981 he married Lena DeCourcey. In retirement, they enjoyed traveling and music.
