He decided to head south to Los Angeles where he became a motor cycle police officer for the Beverly Hills Police Department. Due to an on the job injury, he had to leave a job he loved. He then moved to Nevada to start a career in the gaming business, doing various jobs from security to supervision. He spent many years on the job, retired and moved back to Auburn, where he enjoyed many different hobbies including visiting with his life-long friends, target shooting, reloading and perfecting his quick draw. He was a proud lifetime member of the NRA, and believed strongly in the 2nd Amendment. He was also a long time member of the Clampers.
