In 1915 he transformed his workshop into a factory specializing in rubber stamps and license plates for automobiles, an activity he maintained until 1918.[1]
He later worked in construction and held several public and financial positions, including superintendent of the Casa de Moneda y Especies Valoradas (1918–1929), councillor of the Caja Nacional de Ahorros (1944) and its president in 1952, councillor of the Instituto de Crédito Industrial, and president of the Banco del Estado until 1952.[1]
He also owned several properties and was active in numerous social, professional, and civic organizations, including Freemasonry, the Rotary Club, and the Green Cross, among others.[1]
