Mr. Livingston marked the commencement of his successes at Wells Fargo that same year. He was the banking institution's assistant vice president of commercial marketing and strategic planning until 1997. Shortly after that, Mr. Livingston was promoted to the role of primary vice president of the same department, where he remained until 1999. In 2003, he earned the Pioneer Award during his time at the financial institution. From 1999 to 2004, Wells Fargo extended him an additional title as manager of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and emerging strategies division. For the next five years, Mr. Livingston served as the senior vice president and chief strategist before finally obtaining his directorial position in the learning development sector for Wells Fargo's global banking group.

In the early years of the new decade, Mr. Livingston was the executive vice president of marketing at Peer Review Solutions in Oakland, California. By 2013, his services at Nor-Cal FDC would begin.
