Once discharged, he studied at the University of Toledo, and eventually held a lucrative career in the Forest Products division of the merged glass company, Owens-Illinois, retiring in 1983. He was one of the first pioneers working with the earliest computers as a systems analyst, receiving accolades for his innovative methods .
