He subsequently relocated to West Africa where he established his own business on the Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Cameroon. He pursued additional opportunities in West Africa and South America in the tropical wood industry and was then engaged in other manufacturing endeavors in Romania, Italy, Panama, and the Russian Federation.
