He was born on February 14, 1929 in Wenatchee, Washington State, and served with the US Air Force from 1946-1949. He received a BA degree, magna cum laude, from the University of Washington, and subsequently earned an MA in Japanese history and a Ph.D. in Japanese literature from the same university. In 1969 he became founding chairman of the department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In addition to teaching Japanese language and literature, he taught Japanese culture, scientific Japanese, science fiction and sometimes Chinese literature. His translation of Shimazaki Toson's Before the Dawn (Yo-ake Mae) received the 1987 Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature. He also completed a biography of Shimazaki Toson, The Kiso Road: The Life and Times of Shimazaki Toson. His translation of the 8-volume historical novel by Shiba Ryotaro, A Wisp of Cloud (Saka no Ue no Kumo), which tells the story of Japan from the Meiji Restoration to the Russo-Japanese War and Japan's emergence on the world stage, was uncompleted at his death.".
