He and his wife obtained their Ph.D.’s in English Literature at Northwestern University. After teaching at Western Illinois University for four years he joined the faculty of De Paul University and taught there until 1990, interspersed with two years in Cairo, Egypt, where he and Kay taught at the American University in Cairo 1969-71. They returned to Cairo 1977-8 when he received a Fulbright Fellowship and taught at Ain Shams University. Concurrent with his career at De Paul, he wrote and edited text books for Coyne Technical Institute in Chicago, an outlet for his amazingly diverse talents.

He began life with hard farm work during the Great Depression, fulfilled himself professionally, often sacrificed personally for his family, and traveled the world as he had dreamed of doing as a child behind a mule-drawn plow.
