He would finish his degree at the Colorado School of Mines and begin his career working as a surveyor and an engineer. Next, he discusses his marriage and family background and becoming an ordained Buddhist minister. He would also take up calligraphy and begin teaching that to students. After this, he discusses his interest in Japanese culture and how living in Japan for two years has really taught him a different perspective on things and how he enjoys passing those on to other generations and people.
