During the winters he attended both Washington State University and the University of Idaho where he obtained his degree in 1950. Davidson then attended the American Institute for Foreign Trade in Phoenix, Ariz. The training he received from that institution landed him a job with Mobil Oil Company in southern California. In 1963 he transferred to Boise, Idaho. While he was employed with Mobil Oil, he was also co-owner and accountant for the Brass Lamp Pizza parlors. In the 1960s and 1970s, Davidson bought property for the Brass Lamp Pizza parlors. He also bought property in McCall and Boise, including a building at 6th and Main in Boise.
