Art had a twenty year classroom teaching career during which he developed an innovative biology program at Nordhoff High School in Ojai, California. He had received three National Science Foundation summer grants to the University of California, Berkeley, earned a Master of Arts Degree in Education from California State University, Northridge in 1970 and was named a national outstanding teacher in 1973. He also served on the board of directors of the Ojai Valley Museum and Historical Society for six years.
During the summer of 1978, Art traveled extensively in New Guinea, Southeast Asia and Australia. It was during this trip that he decided to let his children take the reins of their own lives (as they were prepared to do) and he would leave classroom teaching in 1979 to embark on a new pathway for his own life.
The pathway has been an interesting one. Art moved to the Hawaiian Island of Oahu in 1982, then to Kauai's northshore in 1983. Between 1983 and 1988, Art made two excursions into the South Pacific and travelled across the United States by van and visited Baja California and the Sierra Madre in Sinaloa, Mexico. In 1988, Art became a transplant from his birthplace in California to the Island of Kauai, his paradise.
