After the military, he received his Bachelors degree in business from [[Pace University]]. He moved to [[Las Vegas]] and worked for a [[]Mormo]n business as a financial advisor to [[casino]]s.

After a period of time, he told his mother he wanted to go to [[confession]]. He told the priest "Forgive me father, it has been twenty years since my last confession." He made a good confession and it ended with "Father, I think I am being called to the priesthood." A stunned Father said, "With God, anything is possible."
