He graduated from Port Chester (New York) High School in 1952. After high school he served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Guardian YAGR-1, later earning a degree from Northeastern University in 1963. From 1963 to 1999 he worked as a regional sales rep for the RIS Paper Company office based in Concord, New Hampshire. In retirement he worked part time as a rural route carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Contoocook, New Hampshire and also volunteered as a driver for the Friends Program based in Concord, New Hampshire for which he was recognized.
He was a ravenous sports fan who was known to stack as many as four television sets atop one another so that he would never missed a game. In his later years he became an avid golfer, always trying his hardest to keep up with his wife Nancy.
