He was admitted to the California and Federal bars in January 1971. He ended his client based legal practice which emphasized contract and real property matters in 1992 to attend to his family’s extensive business and property interests full-time.
In the late1970’s and early 1980’s, he served on the Saint Dunstan’s School Board in Millbrae for four years and Peninsula YMCA board for four years during which time the new $10 million YMCA facility in San Mateo was constructed.
