He was a graduate from Penn Hills High School class of 1967 and Slippery Rock University in 1971 with a degree in education. While at Slippery Rock, he was member of the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity.

He worked in retail as a multi-unit supervisor for Thrift Drug and CoGo’s in Pennsylvania and The Cigarette Store (Smoker Friendly) when he resided in Colorado.

After retirement, he worked for retail merchandise companies servicing local stores in the area.

Delivering Meals on Wheels for the Washington Senior Center for about a year before his diagnosis gave him great pleasure.
