After practicing law for several years, he went to Harvard University, where he earned a PhD in Political Economy and Government in 1968. After moving back to Nicaragua, he returned to the US in 1980, moving to Miami where he would eventually earn a JD from the University of Miami School of Law.[2] He then worked in the banking industry for companies including BAC Financial Network.[4][5]
