At the age of seven, Wolf moved to California with his mother Ursula and adopted father Richard Imbler. Wolf graduated from California State Long Beach with a degree in Political Science, married and had two sons. For 15 years, Wolf worked as a welder however, wanting to do more for his community, Wolf went back to get his teaching certificate and started working as a bi-lingual 4th grade school teacher at Richman School in Fullerton. His passion for community service was not limited to his teaching, after retiring in 2000 he continued to work as a hospice volunteer for many years before he was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. After an extensive surgery in 2005, the brain tumor was successfully removed; however, he continued to have a series of medical problems. The surgery impacted his vision and limited his ability to participate in many activities. Wolf received audio books, his favorite pastime, from the Braille Institute.
