His continuing studies have included master’s coursework in urban planning at la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City, art and creative writing at Skyline College in San Bruno, California and education at California State University Fresno. He earned his living as an urban planner for many years, working in Honduras, Mexico, Alaska, Arizona and California.
