He graduated from Nazareth High School and Millersville University in Pennsylvania where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Arts.

He worked as a Graphic Arts teacher at Pine Forest High School when the school opened in 1975. His love of soccer began with self-tutorials, leading to competitive play with Pensacola International.

He loved spending time with family and watching his grandson Noah grow up. He could have a conversation with anyone and could always make you laugh. Running into his students around town was always meaningful to him, and he loved sharing stories with everyone he met.
