He went on to obtain his Master of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of California at Santa Barbara and returned to U.S.C. obtaining his Law Degree.
Following law school, he practiced construction law for over seven years. He represented several construction contractors in litigation arising out of public and private works of construction. During this period, he appeared in federal and state courts throughout California on numerous occasions.

He has also taught Political Science courses at West Los Angeles College relating to the U.S. Government and Politics since 2002. Additionally, he has been a mentor and tutor to high school men through the Kappa Alpha Psi Guide Right Program.
He began running the Education Empowerment Program in 2008. The Education Empowerment Program (EEP) is a service of the South Central Los Angeles Regional Center. This program can provide you with training about your rights and assign an advocate or attorney to you to help get educational services for your child. EEP is free to Regional Center consumers ages 3 – 22.
