Army Reserve and at the U.S. Post Office from which he retired.

Conrado's favorite past times included traveling, karaoking, and shooting pool. Whether traveling within the states or abroad, Conrado was always ready for a trip by either driving a small car and later a van, 18-wheeler, by boat or by plane. He was always ready for some adventure and both familiar and new sites to see. Conrado had a number of pool tables he owned in his life and attended many pool tournaments near and far.

Life after retirement allowed him to spend more time working on passive income by business and investments. He worked on cars, rented out many properties, invested in stocks, and finally built his dream home in the Philippines. During his final years he was able to spend more time with family and friends as he traveled back and forth between Houston and the Philippines.
