He lived in San Antonio Texas for 1 year where he attempted acting and music and after appearing on TV and being signed as a composer for Hollywood Artist, he moved to Tokyo, Japan to pursue knowledge in the breakthrough technology that was being used in recording music in Japan at the time. He released 2 single records in Japan as well as recording 4 albums over 10 years and still records music today. After setting up house in Japan, he became involved in Education and after holding several executive positions in the private education industry, became the Program Coordinator for Kanda University.
He spent 1999 - 2002 back in America, where he lived in Seattle, Washington. He became a Certified Tax Accountant in 2002 as well as graduating Northwestern State with an MA in Education. He worked as the Senior Account Manager for a financial company throughout his time back in America.
