His joined the faculty of the University of Bridgeport School of Law (now the Quinnipiac University School of Law) in 1978, where he served for nearly 40 years as a professor of law, and served as interim dean and associate dean.

He loved cooking, running, skiing (a passion taken up just 10 years ago), classic rock, cars, the Cleveland Browns (the mention of which provoked a deep sigh) and visiting Oregon, where his wife grew up.
