After gaining educational degrees (B.A. and M.T.S.) he joined the family firm in Branchville in 1974 as auction manager and appraiser. A few years later he joined the International Society of Appraisers at their inception.

He has held almost every position within ISA including being one of the original board members, chair of the Foundation for Appraisal Education, and Director of Education. He has been an Adjunct Professor at Centenary College (University) and for the University of Washington. He is currently a USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) certified instructor and teaches classes, webinars, and seminars across the US.
