He was born in Salinas but raised in Seaside, attending Ord Terrace School, King Middle School, and Seaside High School. He was a little league pitcher and became an all star pitcher throughout his playing. He was proud of his pitching.

He worked with his father in his father's business, building and maintenance. Before that he was a forklift driver at various companies and for Indian Motorcycles warehouse. He was very proud of his employment there until they closed.

He was always there for his parents, helping out in any way he could. He drove on many getaways with them, taking his dad to radiation treatments, ran errands, and took them to doctor appointments and was included in decisions.

He loved to BBQ and family trips to Disneyland and Universal Studios. He loved all of the muscle cars that he had throughout life, but most of all he treasured his daughter and son who made him the happiest. His favorite sports teams to watch were the San Francisco Giants, Warriors, Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Chicago Bears. He knew all the history of his teams. His favorite sayings were: "you're killing me smalls" and "aiight".
