During this time he did radio investigative work on Long Delayed Echo phenomena with Dr. Oscar Villard of Stanford University.
Returning home, he resumed his studies at the University of Montana in Wildlife interests, but he returned home to go into the family real estate business. He eventually enrolled at the University of Colorado, Denver Campus where he met Dr. Jim Grady who had significant influence over his future, and fed his hunger to pursue Archaeology, while becoming a close personal friend, mentor and personal instructor in Archaeology.
