Once he graduated, he attended Tarht House Culinary school as well as Ecole de Gasstronomic Francaise Ritz in Paris, France. He then emigrated to the United States and worked in labor positions such as a manufacturer for School Street Candy for a few years, then a Spreader for children's clothing wear at Health-tex for over 10 years.

He spent many years working at restaurants in Boston such as the Boston Marriot, Zott's and a few more until he found work closer to home in the heart of Weymouth at Olympic Pizza. After leaving he worked around helping those he knew at various locations until he found his second home at Napoli House of Pizza in which he considered staff there to be like family as many shared a similar culture. In his free time, he would pick up shifts at Gillette Stadium which as he was a staff member for their sporting events and concerts.
