After serving three years in Army Intelligence, including eighteen months in pre-Vietnam War Okinawa, he embraced academia and activism at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (1965-1970). As Vice President of the Student Senate in 1968, he stood at the intersection of education and revolution during an era of profound social change. His entrepreneurial spirit led he and his wife Bobbie to establish "Metamorphosis," a cooperative restaurant embodying the communal values of the time. After marrying Bobbie Share in 1968, they welcomed their son, Forest Fein, in 1972. Nineteen seventy four marked the beginning of Timberline, his custom woodworking business that would become a 43-year legacy in Champaign-Urbana. Beyond words and wood, he pursued athletic excellence, earning national recognition on a traveling softball team -once selected for the all tournament team that won second place in the national championship. He has a passion for gardening as well.
