His career took off in Milwaukee where he spent his time with three Milwaukee advertising agencies specializing in client services.

In seven years he accomplished that goal. Then it was time to retire. In his retirement he and his wife enjoyed traveling the world from China to New Zealand, Europe, Russia and Turkey. He loved roses and raised those in his garden.
