He then completed several years of training as a dentist in the Eisenberg jaw station in Vienna and then worked as a dentist (numerous publications in the specialist press). After his training he was hardly artistically active. In his free time he turned to sporting activities such as skiing, sailing and folding boat tours and traveled through Europe to Syria and Egypt.
