He received a master's degree from Columbia University in Engineering and soon after started his career at IBM.

Since 1974, Hank and Alicia traveled the country and the world speaking on the topic of business, personal success, and Free Enterprise. Until a few years ago, Hank loved traveling to Poland almost every year since 1991 where he combined his love of business and ministry and as missionaries, Hank and Alicia have worked with 5 different orphanages in Poland and the Ukraine.
