He then moved to Boston to pursue his master's degree. While in Boston, Nova substituted regularly with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops Orchestra.

Nova is currently assistant principal trombonist with the Utah Symphony.

McKinney is the bass trombonist for the Utah Symphony and has held that position since 1989. He has played with a variety of orchestras including the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D.C. and the Kennedy Center Orchestra.
