He was employed as a Senior Project Manager for Aecom and Skanska Construction working airport upgrade projects for major airlines, corporations, and cities. His pinnacle project was in 2008, managing the building of a new $32 million Headquarters and training facility for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As a social individual, he had a countless number of friends and co-workers over a lifetime touching many lives. He was married and divorced 3 times in his life.
