He attended St. Mary's Elementary, 8 grade at Vincent Pallotti and graduated from Bladensburg High School in 1962. While at Bladensburg he learned welding and it became what he was best known for.

When the company closed he went to the University of Maryland and worked as an HVAC technician until he retired in 2012.

He attended church regularly at St. Nicholas Catholic Church or more recently Ascension Catholic Church in Bowie, MD.

He was drafted and went in the US Army July 1965, stationed in Korea and worked as Quartermaster Supply Specialist. He was honorably discharged in May 1967.

After returning from Korea he met his future wife Barbara who he lovingly nicknamed "Grumpy". They got married on June 30, 1984 and built their home next door to his mother.
