Oppenheim taught at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for five years, then made the move to Vermont.

Oppenheim is a regular contributor to Vermont Public Radio's commentary series. His most recent documentary, Noyana, Singing at the End of Life, focuses on a Vermont choir that sings to hospice patients.
