After graduation, he went into a lucrative professional career, including positions such as Technical Director and Scenic Designer for Market House Theatre, Properties Master for Des Moines Metro Opera, Scenic Designer and Charge Artist for McLeod Summer Playhouse, and an on-board Entertainment Technician with Carnival Cruise Lines. He served on the Executive Board for Heartland Opera, and currently serves as Treasurer for the West Virginia Theatre Association. He has been with Concord since the Summer of 2022, and oversees all theatre courses, department productions, and is the Alpha Psi Omega faculty sponsor.

Both events took place on a 29-day voyage from Buenos Aires, Argentina to San Francisco, US.
