Before retirement, he was a private consultant in the field of technology & disabilities. During his career, he served on an international committee on Internet standards.

Rex loved flying and he was an instrument rated pilot with over 1000 hours including many cross country flights in small planes. He enjoyed being a ham radio operator and a member of the Nashua Radio Club. He was well known for his accuracy and speed as a ham radio operator and participated in many field days.
