In 1968, he accepted a global technical sales position with an industrial machine tool manufacturer and relocated his family to Massachusetts. Over a period of several years, he traveled extensively through the former Soviet Eastern Bloc and had many exciting and alarming experiences. One such episode involved being falsely accused of being a spy while in Romania, which led to a brief detention until US officials were able to clear him. In 1972, he started ARVON, a machine tool retrofitting business and it quickly expanded, employing over 50 people at its peak in 1980. A financial downturn in the early 80's led to a plant shut down, but he continued to persevere and formed and ran several businesses over the course of his career.

Later in life, he pursued a career in IT and worked for Boeing and United Launch Alliance in support of the Space shuttle and Delta launch programs. He enjoyed reading, scuba diving, bee keeping, electrical and mechanical engineering and design, information technology and woodworking.
