After moving to Phoenix, Arizona, in 1979, he became a founding member of the Phoenix Art Press, a fine-art print company, and participated in group exhibits at the Phoenix Art Museum and the Scottsdale Center for the Arts in Scottsdale, Arizona.
He relocated to Los Angeles, California, in 1987 and began exhibiting in local galleries. In 1990 he created Handpress International, a fine-art print studio and sales and marketing network.
