As a teacher, he published mostly didactic works, such as guides to correct Dutch, books about Dutch spelling and Dutch grammar. In 1970 he wrote a science fiction novel for children, named "Phantoms from space".
In 1982, he was promoted to doctor in the philology of Germanic languages, with an essay on the hydronymy of the rivers Dijle and Nete. He became the principal of a school for adult education in 1984.
From the second half of the seventies on, he mainly wrote books and publications about the history of the municipality Tienen. During the 90s, he also covered the history of surrounding cities in the province of Flemish Brabant, such as Landen, Zoutleeuw, and parts of Linter.
