He then moved to the Kansas City area to work for United Bakery Equipment Company (UBE), where he managed U.S. and international sales. He led the company in development, manufacturing and sales of the bun packaging line called the “Autoload”, which stacks and packages buns in polyethylene bags for the production lines of major U.S. and international bakeries.
