He graduated from the University of Iowa with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. He met his wife Jane Gormley while at Iowa. They moved to Palm Beach County after graduation in 1969 when he accepted a job as a design and instrumentation engineer with Pratt & Whitney.

Fred received his J.D. with honors in 1972 and returned to Palm Beach County, where he practiced law for 44 years until his retirement in 2016. His primary focus was real estate, where he handled numerous land transactions in the development of Northern Palm Beach County. Fred was an avid bird hunter, in his youth hunting with his father in the Midwest and then with his son airboating and hunting ducks on Lake Okeechobee.
