During his active duty years, once he was off-duty, he always had a fulltime job working at various places, like working as the manager at the NCO Club at Kelly AFB in San Antonio Texas. After the Air Force, he worked for Diners Club International credit card company and also head of security at Stapleton international Airport in Denver Colorado.
