Born in Philadelphia, PA, and raised in Westville Grove, NJ.
After graduating from High School I joined the Marines and was sent to MCRD Paris Island, SC.
On August 9, 1951. There I earned the expert rifle badge. Upon graduation, I was sent to MCRD San Diego, CA,
and attended communication school graduating as 2543.
I was then sent to Marine Corps Air Station. Cherry
Point, NC., and worked at Headquarters in the communications department. In August 1953,
I was sent to the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Fleet Marine Force, communication headquarters in Korea.
There I completed my enlistment in August 1954 and was sent to Treasure Island, CA, where I was discharged.
I moved to Southern CA and attended college for two years where I majored in accounting, business, and sales management but did not graduate.
Over the years I was employed by several companies as an account, chief accountant, assistant treasurer, general sales office manager, and sales manager.
At one of the companies, a medium-sized corporation, I was elected to the board of directors and served for 6 years.
I ultimately received my license as a general contractor and managed my own contracting business for 28 years.
During my time as a contractor, I volunteered with two non-profit organizations and served on their board of directors.
I rode with the Patriot Guards group for 2 years until I discovered Semper Fi #1 which I joined on February 8, 2013.
