He also served as scenic designer and technical director for numerous theatre and opera productions for both schools. His other design credits include productions for the Historic Paramount Theatre, Abilene Opera Association, and the Abilene Philharmonic.

He is a member of the Texas Clay Arts Association and the American Craft Guild, and a past member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and the Center for Contemporary Arts.
