Subsequently, he studied to obtain his GED and a bachelor's degree from University of Maine in Farmington in Education. For 30+ years he was a 6th grade teacher in the Lewiston school system where he not only taught multiple generations of students but got to enjoy his love of sports by coaching basketball during his tenure. In his time off, he would participate in a softball league with other members of the community. Upon retirement, he continued to enjoy being a handyman and doing home improvement projects for not only himself but for multiple family members and friends.
