He was employed by Costa Farms as a field foreman until his retirement in 1986.

One of the highlights of his life was when he attended the Grand Opening of the Golden Gate Bridge in May 1937. That night he attended a dance, where he danced so much he wore out his shoes.
His hobbies included working in his garden where he had fruit trees and other fruits and vegetables. He always shared his home grown fruits and vegetables with family, friends, and neighbors.
