His family had close ties to the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he was a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan. After high school, he joined the U.S. Navy, where he enjoyed a 14 year career before retiring as a First Class Petty Officer in 1990. He later enjoyed a career in manufacturing and field service, and then found his true passion as a Karaoke Jockey.
