He realized that West Texas was too dry, so he moved east to Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, where he graduated. His summers were spent performing at Casa Manana in Ft Worth.  After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles.  He toured for a year with The Serendipity Singers and worked in Hawaii with Don Ho for one year.

He then moved back to Los Angeles and began working with Bobbie Gentry and Jim Nabors as a backup singer.  Maule’s first big break came in guest starring roles on the original “Charlie’s Angels”, “Three’s Company”, and “White Shadow”.  He performed Arthur’s Theme from the movie “Arthur” with Dudley Moore.  It was then that he was discovered by “General Hospital”.  He also spent 4 years on WB Network’s “7th Heaven” as Ashlee Simpson’s dad.
