His strong native skills as an illustrator led him to take a position as a Graphic Artist with a firm owned by Donnelly Advertising.

Tuition assistance towards his persuit of a degree in Architectural design encouraged him to persue opportunities being offered by the US Air Force. Of course, he says, ".. the Air Force had other ideas and pushed me down the road of computer technology, no regrets so far, it has been a remarkable carreer filled with amazing experiences and advancement."

When a position at a power company in Florida was available to him he chose to abandon military and government employment and began a career with responsibilties in mainframe and WAN technology.
