He was a 1987 graduated of Campbell Memorial High School and was very active in school, including Glee Club and Spanish Club, but was truly talented in drawing. He won many awards for his sketches including the Jean Webb Award and had showings at The Butler Art Institute and in Cleveland. At the end of his junior year he was recruited by Coach Rozum of Campbell to play for the Campbell Red Devils because of his size (256lbs) and hard hitting ability.

In 1995 he began work at Parkview Counseling where he helped coordinate services as part of a team on a residential unit. In 1999 he decided on a career change and entered the police academy and went to work for the Mahoning County Sheriff?¢s Dept. He left the Sheriff?¢s Dept. in 2005 and worked until very recently at his first love again, art, employed as a stone craftsman at Ventling Memorials, making beautiful memorials in granite which can be seen in cemeteries from New York to Wyoming. He was an accomplished body builder as well as a runner, having completed the Peace Race in 2006 and 2007. He was an avid Star Wars fan since his youth and had a long time love of German Shepherds.
