The bookbinding department at North Bennet Street School and the New England Chapter of GBW have been intertwined for decades. The binding is a simple, classic style of fine binding in honor of the historical nature of the book.

He is the current bookbinding department head at North Bennet Street School and a former chair of the New England Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers.
