1970. He built his first home on Panorama Drive in 1975. From 1970 to 1975 he 
contracted framing on many commercial and residential projects throughout Kern 
County. He had a strong work ethic like others of his generation. He worked 
nearly every day of his life. He began working at age six turning grapes in 
the fields in Kern County and lived with his family in the Sunset Labor Camp
