During this period, he has taught physical education, math, English, computers french, and science. He was also vice principal and in charge of discipline in a prestigious private high school. Lior has gained valuable experience working within the elementary school system as well.

He lived in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
