Theodore graduated from The Browning School on Manhattan's Upper East Side and continued his childhood work as a painter. According to his own accounts, Theodore supplemented his work as an abstract painter by serving as an independent contractor for the Central Intelligence Agency, having been recruited for such work, after graduation in the early 1960s. For several years, he supposedly performed a number of dangerous covert missions for the CIA. His obituary in The New York Sun states that “nothing can be verified” about his work, but that stories link him to “violent encounters” in Africa, Czechoslovakia, Greece and Vietnam. “I was working for Uncle Sam as a freedom fighter until Communism imploded on itself,” Theodore said

Theodore's experience, he said, sparked an interest in creating special holsters for the concealment of weapons. In 1966, at the age of 23, Theodore founded Seventrees Ltd., a company that designed and produced gun holsters for professionals[11] who had the need to conceal weapons, yet access them quickly. Demand among undercover investigators and intelligence agents grew quickly for his innovative designs, and Seventrees was soon awarded several contracts from a variety of U.S. agencies. The growing popularity of the holsters inspired many imitations by other manufacturers: “Even the company's slogan “Unseen in the Best Places”
