Following that he spent a number of years running equipment at a food processing plant. Later he and his family purchased a small piece of property in the California central valley to farrow and raise hogs. This business grew into one of the largest state licensed hog slaughtering businesses in California. In 1996 he thought he would retire but quickly grew bored and purchased 365 acres in Northern California’s beautiful Sierra Valley where, with his best friend he worked in the pine trees and pasture lands of this property he loved. He also was very supportive and helpful with his wife’s endeavors in church and many local organizations especially the local Rotary club.
