He attended the 1948 Worldcon in Toronto and in 1949 he chaired Cinvention, the seventh Worldcon in Cincinnati. In 1950 he founded and chaired the first Midwestcon. Well connected to fans in both the UK and US, he worked with Walt Willis to develop TAFF and he was the first TAFF US administrator. He won the 1959 TAFF race, attending the 1960 Eastercon in London.
