He owned “A Dam Good Man’s” handyman service in Weed, California, organic farmed in Happy Camp, California, welded in San Diego, and was a nondestructive testing (NDT) inspector in San Diego and in Seattle, Washington.

He loved the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting and he was an enthusiastic gun collector and marksman. His final move was to Costa Rica seeking a less stressful lifestyle. He purchased and developed Casita del Sol, a small yoga retreat in the lower hills of southwest Costa Rica. He developed a wide group of friends and was well respected by the community.
