Applying the karate lessons of commitment, perseverance, and mental training, Rabago also embarked on the dual careers of engineering design and acting. Appearing in numerous television and movie roles, while holding down a job as a digital chip designer, he became well-known for his part in VR Troopers. Still working, teaching, and pursuing his acting career, Rabago insists that the most  important lessons he can teach his students are not physical ones, but the MENTAL. "I teach my students never to say the words, 'I can't do it.' Because this will help them for their entire life. If you have a  positive attitude from a young age, and then become an adult, your positive thinking will push you to whatever goals you might have."
