He has been asked to advise or consult with over 65 individuals or institutions across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

He has been active during his professional career in promoting education and the principalship. He served as president of several educational organizations including the National Association of Elementary School Principals/SCA-Zone VIII, the New Mexico Association of Elementary School Principals, and the Albuquerque Public Schools Principals Association.
