He arrived in the Alamo City in 1988 and became general manager of classical KPAC-FM, and he worked with NPR to create KSTX-FM. He also guided a restructuring of the parent organizations licensed to operate KPAC and KSTX that resulted in the creation of a new nonprofit corporation which he named Texas Public Radio.
