Next he worked in NYC banks and several electronics firms which fabricated military equipment. With this he returned college to earn a BSEE degree (1957-1959). He then went to work for a company managing the Polaris Missile System for the U.S. Navy. This led to working for the Navy Department (Naval Electronic Systems Command) in Washington , DC as a management engineer until retirement in 1991.
