While residing in New Jersey, he dabbled in various pursuits, from owning a restaurant and a boxing gym to indulging in his passion for racing cars.

Embracing the South Florida lifestyle, he ventured into boat racing, relishing weekends in the Keys with loved ones. His love for automobiles extended beyond a hobby, as he eventually opened a car dealership. He was an avid collector of cars and possessed an expert knowledge of all things automotive.
